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.

Today’s major league baseball bears little resemblance to the 19th century variety.

The differences were on display recently at a game of ‘historic’ baseball played at Dearborn’s Greenfield Village.

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