Membership
Connect the past to the present as you stroll through the gardens, visit Bird Island, or relax along the lake. Bring a friend, take a tour, visit an exhibition, participate in a program, capture a memory through the lens of a camera, find a special gift in the shop, or linger over a meal.
Nestled on more than 80 acres along Lake St. Clair, the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House offers a perfect respite. The changing landscape, designed for all seasons by famed landscape architect Jens Jensen, invites you to walk the same paths as Eleanor and Edsel.
Your Ford House membership offers a transforming opportunity to capture and re-capture time.
