Seventy-five enslaved African Americans provided the skill and labor that supported the Carroll family's comfortable life.

- Preparing Charles Steinmetz Cabin for Dismantling before the Move to Greenfield Village, February 22, 1930 - Charles Steinmetz owned this cabin overlooking a tributary of the Mohawk River, just outside of Schenectady, New York. The cabin's simplicity was a contrast to the General Electric laboratories where Steinmetz spent his workweek. It served as a getaway -- for quiet study or writing, but also for more animated weekend camp gatherings for selected friends and associates.
