Artifact Overview

Henry Ford purchased Longfellow's Wayside Inn, Sudbury, Massachusetts, in 1923, with the intention of restoring it and creating a "living museum" there. This idea would later inspire the creation of Greenfield Village. This photo of Henry Ford's four grandchildren was taken at the Wayside Inn in 1928. From left to right, they are Henry Ford II, Benson, Josephine, and William.
