1943 Cotswold Cottage Greenfield Village Michigan

There’s a quiet, storybook magic in this 1943 postcard of the Cotswold Cottage, nestled among the greenery of Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan. With its warm, honey-colored limestone walls, gabled rooflines, and diamond-paned mullioned windows, the cottage feels like it was lifted straight from a sleepy English hillside—and in a way, it was.

Originally built over 300 years ago for rural laborers in Chedworth, Gloucestershire, this charming example of traditional Cotswold architecture was carefully transported stone by stone to Greenfield Village. Every detail, from the hand-hewn timber to the 17th-century furnishings inside, tells a tale of simple, enduring beauty. Framed by trees and a low stone wall, the scene radiates a peaceful, timeless charm that invites you to pause and imagine life at a slower pace.

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
