Add to SetSummary
In 1983, Greenfield Village acquired the Firestone family's 19th-century farmhouse and barn in eastern Ohio. After careful documentation and disassembly, workers shipped the structures' original components to Dearborn, Michigan. There, craftsmen re-erected the farmhouse and barn, making repairs and replicating replacements as needed. They completed both buildings just ahead of a formal dedication ceremony held on June 29, 1985.
