Historic baseball is played at Greenfield Village in Dearborn.

Current State’s summer travel series continues today. WKAR’s Peter Whorf takes us to Dearborn for some living history.

In the latest installment of Current State’s summer travel series, WKAR’s Peter Whorf covers a bit of living history.
