- Activities Inside the Connecticut Salt Box House (now Daggett Farmhouse) in Greenfield Village, 1989 - In 1977, Henry Ford Museum acquired an 18th-century farmhouse from northeastern Connecticut for Greenfield Village. It was originally interpreted with a focus on architecture and antiques, but demonstrations of colonial-era activities enlivened the structure in the 1980s. Later, based on new research, activities more accurately recreated the life of the home's original occupants, the Daggett family, in the 1760s.

- Susquehanna Plantation in Greenfield Village, August 1989 - Henry Carroll owned this southern Maryland house (pictured here at Greenfield Village) in the decades before and after the Civil War. Its form -- one room deep with porches -- invited cooling breezes in the warm, humid climate. In 1860, the Carrolls raised tobacco and wheat on their 700-acre plantation. Seventy-five enslaved African Americans provided the skill and labor that supported the Carroll family's comfortable life.
