The Henry Ford
Dearborn, MI, United States
When George Washington Carver came to Greenfield Village in 1942 for the dedication of the Carver Memorial Cabin, he and Henry Ford pursued a mutual interest: wild edibles. Carver used this weeder while in Dearborn, and he and Ford ate a meal together that included wild greens and roots. Carver may have also dug plants for public presentations about economic botany.
