Motor Muster at Greenfield Village

Part 2

Our afternoon adventure took us to Greenfield Village to the Motor Muster.  An annual event, the muster invites car enthusiasts from around the area and country to showcase their cars.

Cruise through a diverse collection of vehicles for a rare opportunity to step inside immersive vignettes from five of the American auto industry’s most formative decades. From the lean Depression-era ’30s and the American home front during World War II to the futuristic ’50s, revolutionary ’60s and bicentennial ’70s, get a unique perspective on American culture through the lens of what we drove. Every automobile, from luxury vehicles to gritty muscle cars, has been carefully chosen to guide you through a unique story of American drive.

Playing home today at the Village, is the Lah-De-Dahs baseball club.  Playing by the rules from 1867, the Lah-De-Dahs were playing the Walker Tavern Wheels.  This gentleman's game differs from baseball as we known it in several ways including pitching style, umpiring...or judging....the ball, and the ball.  Also, you will notice that no player plays with a glove, which was not popular until 1920.  A glove was first used in 1870 due to injuries to the hand/fingers.
