Known as Keepers of the Fire, the Bodewéwadmik (Potawatomi) people chose to live near waterways and were generally Great Lakes area inhabitants in what is now Wisconsin, southern Michigan, northern Indiana and northern Illinois. Near water, communities used the waterways for fishing, harvesting and spiritual purposes. It has been their tradition to respect the Earth and strive to cultivate its resources carefully, while also providing a harvest for their families.

About Detroit Central Market

Originally constructed in 1860 in downtown Detroit, the vegetable shed from the Detroit Central Market now stands fully reconstructed in Greenfield Village.

After a storied 160-plus-year history that included commerce, near-demolition and then reconstruction, the Detroit Central Market became the first historic structure added to Greenfield Village since 2000. Guests can learn more about the historic market's significance by engaging with our village presenters, exploring Detroit Central Market Weekends and more.

Access to Music in the Market and Detroit Central Market Weekends is included with village admission and free for members.
