Daggett Farm in Greenfield Village, September 2007

01

Artifact Overview

The hardworking Daggett family lived in northeastern Connecticut in the 1760s. Samuel farmed the land and made furniture; Anna spun yarn, made clothes, cooked, and tended the gardens; their children helped. The Henry Ford moved the family's farmhouse to Greenfield Village in 1977. Displays and demonstrations documenting Colonial-era activities help reconstruct the daily lives of the Daggett family for visitors.
