Add to SetSummary
Luther Burbank (1849-1926), a much-heralded American horticulturalist, gained a reputation for selectively breeding more than 800 new fruits, vegetables, flowers, and other plants. He opened this building in 1910 to sell seeds and souvenirs to inquisitive patrons. It served many purposes over the years and was moved once before Burbank's widow sent it to Henry Ford in 1928 for inclusion in Greenfield Village.
