Experience what being a guest of the Fords was like on a tour of this traditional, 60-room English Cotswold home, designed by one of the country’s greatest architects, Albert Kahn.  Painstaking attention to authenticity and quality hand craftsmanship were skillfully blended with modern conveniences and contemporary design to make Ford House one of America’s true classic historic homes.

When visiting Ford House, you will not only marvel at the diverse décor and furnishings, which reflect the Fords’ lifelong love of art in its many forms, you’ll also get a rare and wonderful insight into the family, their activities and interests, business responsibilities and concern for the local community.
