Farmington Historic Plantation

Farmington Historic Plantation Completed in 1816, Farmington was the center of a 550 acre hemp plantation owned by the Speed family and sustained by nearly 60 enslaved African Americans.

Abraham Lincoln, a good friend of Joshua Speed's, visted for three weeks in 1841.
