Friday night I went with family and friends to Greenfield Village in Dearborn to take part in the 19th century autumnal festivities and good old fashioned family fun. We ate at the Eagle Tavern which was filled with old fashioned violin players, storytelling and harvest games.
For dinner we were served:
Cheese and Dry Cured Sausage
Bread Bowl
Apple Butter
Whipped Creamery
Apple Cider Squash Chutney
Midnight Cake with Vanilla Sauce
Roasted Quail with Apples and Greens
Midnight Cake with Vanilla Sauce
Roasted Quail with Apples and Greens
Stuffed Pumpkin
Sage Pork Sausage with Onion Gravy
Beefsteak Pie
Corn Relish
Walnut Ketchup
Following the sumptuous candle-lit harvest supper we made our way into the moonlight to follow the enchanted pumpkin path to take in the sights and sounds of Halloween throughout the Village. Many of the historical buildings were made into spooky scarry fun. The bridge was filled with smoke that appeared to be going into a tunnel as you were walking. Scarry noises filled the air. The mysterious woman on the balcony has been a favorite conversation piece for us for a few years now.
