Presenter Working at Daggett Farmhouse in Greenfield Village, April 2006

Summary

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 home to Greenfield Village in 1977. This image from 2006 shows presenters recreating activities that help make the farmhouse come alive for visitors.
