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 recreated architectural elements of the barn that had been replaced or drastically altered over the years, made repairs, and reconstructed the building in time for its dedication on June 29, 1985.
