1952 Historic Susquehanna House n Greenfield Village, Dearborn, Michigan

Step back into early American life with this vintage postcard depicting the Susquehanna House, a historic plantation home originally built along the Patuxent River on Chesapeake Bay, Maryland.

Relocated to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan, the house reflects the vision of Henry Ford, who selected it to represent the Greek Revival architectural style within his historic village. The postcard captures the charming white farmhouse with its symmetrical facade, weatherboarded walls, and narrow dormers, surrounded by a pastoral setting that includes a vintage Dutch windmill and a small outbuilding. Sheep grazing on the lawn add a touch of rural authenticity, evoking the agricultural life of 19th-century Maryland.

The Susquehanna House once served as both a town meeting place and the home of Christopher Rousby, the King’s collector of customs, and it was part of one of southern Maryland’s largest and most productive farms.

The image was reproduced using CurteichColor from a Kodachrome original, preserving the vibrant tones and careful detail of the historic site for collectors and history enthusiasts alike. This postcard would look great framed or make a great addition to any collection.
