Livonia Preserved: Greenmead and Beyond tells the story of Greenmead and
the Livonia Historical Village and other historic resources through
photographs and other ephemera. The story begins with Livonia's earliest
attempts to preserve its history at Quaker Acres, how it came into
being, and the buildings that were moved to the site. These early
efforts were expanded to a 100-acre farm complex-called
Greenmead-acquired by the city in 1976. In addition to stories
surrounding the Greenmead Historical Park, Livonia Preserved features
other interesting structures and sites, such as Henry Ford's Newburg
Mill, the Wilson Barn, the Felician Motherhouse, historic cemeteries,
and private homes. Each of these represents a unique piece of Livonia
history.
