'Abdu'l-Bahá traveled across North America giving talks along the way; talks that were met with a fervor of interest at all levels of society, from the New York City newspaper boys, ministers, and educators to the wealthiest socialites and statesmen of Washington, DC.

After Farmer died on November 23, 1916 the Green Acre property passed into the possession of the National Spiritual Assembly of the Baha’is of the United States and Canada. Today, Green Acre remains the "great center," and "the cause of the unity of the world of humanity" that ‘Abdu’l-Bahá and Farmer hoped it would be.
