FAVORITE MEMBER PERK:

The Turnwalds and daughter Katie love the flexibilty of their Family Flex membership, which allows them to mix and match entry into The Henry Ford. Kristine and David can take their five grandchildren, or Katie and her husband, Josh Jensen, can bring the kids using the same card. “We like to take advantage of the extras,” said Kristine, who was a huge fan of last year’s members-only days and Twilight Bike Ride in Greenfield Village.

IT’S NOT UNUSUAL FOR Kristine to find herself in Greenfield Village three or four times a week, whether its with her husband, her daughter or some combination of her five grandchildren. Lovers of Firestone Farm, Kristine and family have seen a calf being born and baby sheep just days old. They know all the horses’ names, have taken a spin on most of the animals on the carousel and have listened with care to every story told by the narrators on the Weiser Railroad steam locomotives. “We learn something new on the train every single time,” she said. An educator herself, Kristine understands the value of having a learn-by-doing destination such as The Henry Ford in such close proximity and eagerly shares it with others at every opportunity. “Whenever we have guests or family in town, we go to The Henry Ford. We feel so fortunate.”
