The Museum's English Farm house dates to the 1600s and originally stood in the parish of Hartlebury in Worcestershire in England's West Midlands.  The house and its surroundings represent the farms left behind by England's earliest North American colonists. Descendents of these colonists and those that followed were often the organizers and promoters of frontier settlement in colonial America and often served as political and social leaders in backcountry settlements.
