Firestone Farm in Greenfield Village, September 2007
01
Artifact Overview
Firestone Farm in Greenfield Village is a "living history" re-creation of what life was like on the Ohio farm of Benjamin and Catherine Firestone in 1885. The Firestone's raised Merino sheep, a popular breed selectively bred during the 1800s to produce wrinkly skin. The Merinos' wrinkly skin yielded more wool--and profit. This image from 2007 shows some of our Merino sheep.
