As pioneers in the Harford County canning industry, the Baker Family raised crops and canned tomatoes in the late 19th and 20th centuries. In the late 1800s, the homestead was rotated 180 degrees to face the west. In the mid-20th century, the canning house on the farm was converted to a housing unit. A dairy operation existed in the early to mid-20th century.
