Artifact Overview
Gustav Munchow became the gardener at Henry and Clara Ford's Fair Lane estate in Dearborn, Michigan, around 1930, after emigrating from Germany. Soon after, Henry asked him to landscape the gardens of the Cotswold Cottage, an English cottage Ford had recently moved to Greenfield Village. Munchow's work impressed the Fords. Munchow later led the grounds and maintenance departments for the Museum and Greenfield Village.
