Henry Ford, Elizabeth Burroughs, and John Burroughs at Woodchuck Lodge, 1915
01
Artifact Overview
Perhaps a seemingly odd pair, automobile magnate Henry Ford and naturalist John Burroughs shared a love of nature. Here, the two friends -- joined by Burroughs' granddaughter Elizabeth -- pose in front of Woodchuck Lodge, near Burroughs' birthplace in the Catskills of upstate New York. Ford had helped him purchase the property in 1913. Burroughs summered here, writing and entertaining guests.
