About this event:

Embark on an exclusive journey delving into the clandestine corners of Ford House with our captivating guided tour. Unveil the enigmatic allure of this historic abode as you traverse hallways, ascend stairwells, and uncover spaces seldom seen by the public eye.

Discover the infirmary, travel the underground tunnel leading to the Power House, and ascend to the attic’s storied realms. Descend into the expansive basement, a testament to the house’s rich history.

Immerse yourself in a narrative that spans 50 minutes, a testament to the legacy woven into every nook and cranny of this estate.

Please note that this immersive exploration necessitates stair navigation and is regrettably unsuitable for individuals with mobility challenges. With tickets in limited supply, securing your place through advance registration is highly recommended to ensure an unforgettable experience in this fabled setting.

After your guided tour, we encourage you to explore the grounds, gardens, and auxiliary buildings. You can also stop by the Visitor Center’s three exhibitions. Grab a bite in our restaurants and visit The Shop at Ford House.

* The tunnel is a part of the Nooks & Crannies tour, but we must occasionally close it for maintenance and preservation. To find out if the tunnel is available on the day of your tour, please contact 313-884-4222.
