Activities Inside the Connecticut Salt Box House (now Daggett Farmhouse) in Greenfield Village, 1989
Add to SetSummary
In 1977, Henry Ford Museum acquired an 18th-century farmhouse from northeastern Connecticut for Greenfield Village. It was originally interpreted with a focus on architecture and antiques, but demonstrations of colonial-era activities enlivened the structure in the 1980s. Later, based on new research, activities more accurately recreated the life of the home's original occupants, the Daggett family, in the 1760s.
