As I embark on a resaerch project involving a number of buildings in the 
collection of Greenfield Village in Michigan, I was beginning to wonder 
about the perception of authenticity in buildings?  
Do professionals generally feel buildings in open-air settings convey an 
accurate (authentic) message?
Do visitors feel the buildings and/or message is authentic?

And, anyone know of visitors studies around these kinds of topics?

Thanks, Janne
