Daggett Farm House at Its Earlier Site, Union, Connecticut, circa 1977

01

Artifact Overview

First home to the Daggett family of Coventry (now Andover), Connecticut, this 18th-century farmhouse was purchased and moved in 1951 to Union, some 25 miles northeast, by antiques collector Mary Dana Wells. Wells lived in the home until 1977, when it was acquired for Greenfield Village. Its interpretation there originally focused on architecture and antiques but now centers around the Daggetts' life in the 1760s.
