Henry Carroll's Susquehanna Plantation was one of the largest, most productive farms in southern Maryland before the Civil War. Henry Ford had Carroll's house moved to Greenfield Village in 1942. Costumed presenters in 2007 interpreted the daily life of those living on prosperous Maryland estates--both the landowners and the enslaved African Americans whose skills and labor made these plantations profitable.
