In 1983, the original farm was disassembled and moved to Greenfield Village, a 90-acre (360,000 m2) historical site in Michigan founded by Henry Ford, and is now part of a larger outdoor museum.

[5] According to a joint investigation from ProPublica and PBS, Firestone - while directly working as the head of his eponymous company - orchestrated a deal with Liberia to lease over 1 million acres of land to establish a rubber plantation, the largest in the world.

It was during this time that the Liberian government had forced indigenous villagers to work on the plantation, although investigators with the League of Nations found no evidence that Firestone itself “consciously employs labor which has been forcibly impressed".

This established an image that prevailed for decades while the company directly aided Liberian government officials in owning rubber plantations themselves, including the country's former dictator, William V.S.

This is due to the plantation consisting of poorly paid workers who would live on company property in small, one-room dwellings with their wives and children.

[1] Firestone, Henry Ford, and Thomas Edison were generally considered the three leaders in American industry at the time, and often worked and vacationed together,[8] calling themselves the Vagabonds,[9] along with naturalist John Burroughs and, sometimes, President Herbert Hoover.

The Links at Firestone Farms, a golf course in Columbiana that opened in 2003, sits on the site of the former family homestead.
