You can see buildings from that period. You can see varieties of animals and plants similar to those people used 250 years ago.Learn that farmers don't just grow food. They also produce products for many other purposes. At the National Colonial Farm, visit a tobacco barn. For 300 years, tobacco was Maryland's most important crop.
