Susquehanna Plantation in Greenfield Village, August 1989
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Carroll owned this southern Maryland house (pictured here at Greenfield Village) in the decades before and after the Civil War. Its form -- one room deep with porches -- invited cooling breezes in the warm, humid climate. In 1860, the Carrolls raised tobacco and wheat on their 700-acre plantation. Seventy-five enslaved African Americans provided the skill and labor that supported the Carroll family's comfortable life.
