Artifact Overview
Perhaps a seemingly odd pair, automobile magnate Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs shared a love of nature. Here, the two friends pose in front of Woodchuck Lodge near Burroughs' birthplace in the Western Catskills of New York. Ford had helped him purchase the property outright in 1913. Burroughs summered here, writing and entertaining guests at Woodchuck Lodge.
