Ford House has some paved walkways on the estate that are wheelchair accessible. Some of our garden pathways have uneven ground, pebble paths, and a few stairs.

The house itself has two floors available for self-guided tours. The second floor is accessed via the main stairwell which offers a large sturdy railing. While there is no elevator to the second floor, video tablets are available which provide a virtual visit for any guest who would like to use them.

If you have accessibility needs or concerns, our staff can work with you on accessible options. Please contact tickets@fordhouse.org to make the arrangements. Accessibility is important to us, and we want everyone to be able to share in the Ford House experience. If you have more questions you can also call us at 313-884-4222.
