The VideoTours sleeve takes me through the Henry Ford Museum and Greenfield Village in Dearborn: inventions and old buildings at the museum, then the homes and workplaces of Edison, the Wright brothers and Noah Webster. I haven’t watched my copy yet. With about thirty minutes to cover both places, I’m curious what makes the cut.
They call it a behind-the-scenes visit, but the itinerary sounds like a tour of the exhibits and historic buildings. I’m curious which version the tape gives me.
