Daggett Farm in Greenfield Village, September 2007
Add to SetSummary
The hardworking Daggett family lived in northeastern Connecticut in the 1760s. Samuel farmed the land and made furniture; Anna spun yarn, made clothes, cooked, and tended the gardens; their children helped. The Henry Ford moved the family's farmhouse to Greenfield Village in 1977. This image from 2007 shows recreated gardens with typical plants found in this region during Colonial-era America.
