Discover the inspiration of Ford House, where picturesque architecture surrounded by the beautiful flower of naturalist-style landscapes take you inside one of America’s prominent automotive families. Offering a one-of-a-kind look into the private lives of Edsel Ford — the only son of Henry and Clara Ford — his wife Eleanor, and their children, a guided tour of their historic lakeside estate brings you into the same rooms they called home.

Group tours of the Main Residence and/or the Gardens & Grounds are offered for parties of 10 or more, with flexible daytime and evening hours. Allow three or more hours for the whole experience, including a 1-hour guided tour of the Main Residence, and additional time to visit the gardens, exhibits, shopping, and dining opportunities.
