Artifact Overview

In 1983, the Firestone family donated their circa 1828 Columbiana County, Ohio, farmstead to Greenfield Village. The farm had been the boyhood home of Harvey Firestone, who later became a tire and rubber magnate and friend of Henry Ford. On June 29, 1985, descendants of Henry Ford and Harvey Firestone along with former U.S. President Gerald Ford helped dedicate the newly installed farm.
