Maple tapping, the age-old practice of extracting sap from maple trees to create delicious syrup, has a rich and storied history in Michigan. As winter gives way to spring, the forests of Michigan come alive with the sound of taps being hammered into maple trees, marking the beginning of a sweet tradition that has been cherished for generations.

Are you still on the hunt for the perfect Easter celebration for your family? Look no further! We have an exclusive invitation just for you. Join us at the stunning Edsel & Eleanor Ford House for an Easter Brunch experience unlike any other.

As part of our strategic plan, Ford House established four values guided by Eleanor and Edsel Ford’s shared legacy: equity, playfulness, philanthropy, and love. It is love that inspires us every day as we not only preserve and share their legacy but also as we imagine its future and our community.

As the New Year unfolds, we are thrilled to extend an invitation to our lineup of extraordinary events tailored just for guests like you. At Ford House, we believe in curating experiences that transcend expectations, and our 2024 calendar promises nothing short of extraordinary moments that celebrate heritage, culture, and innovation.

Today Michigan Humane announced the return of their annual Mutt March to Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores, slated for May 18, 2024. The event’s location was temporarily in question this fall after the Grosse Pointe Shores City Council approved breed-specific legislation banning pit bulls within the city.

The Main Residence is undergoing an exciting floor restoration project this fall! Which means some rooms will be empty or closed to visitors on guided and self-guided tours.

Are you on the hunt for that ideal location to capture your family's special moments? Be it a warm family gathering, treasured senior photos, or even the whimsical snaps of your beloved pets, finding the perfect backdrop can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary. Look no further as we introduce you to our picture-perfect estate.

The holidays are all aglow at Ford House. Join us for winter wonderland filled with glittering lights throughout the grounds and explore the tasteful elegance of the home's interior, decorated as Eleanor Ford would have done.
