Led by an expert guide, you will explore staff-only hallways, staircases, and service spaces that reveal the innovation, care, and craftsmanship that supported daily life at Ford House.\nThroughout the tour, guides share lesser-known stories and details that add new depth to the estate’s history, making this experience especially appealing to repeat visitors and history enthusiasts.\nThis tour lasts approximately 50 minutes and includes multiple staircases, narrow hallways, and uneven surfaces. Due to the historic nature of these spaces, the tour is not wheelchair accessible and may be challenging for guests with mobility limitations. Comfortable shoes are strongly recommended.\nSpace is very limited, and this tour frequently sells out. Advance ticket purchase is highly recommended.\n Museums for All and Military Visitors\n You may purchase tickets at our Visitor Center’s Admission Desk. A valid ID is required. To place tickets on hold, please call us at 313-884-4222.\n Planning a 4 p.m. Tour\n Guests booking the 4 p.m. tour should plan to visit the other buildings open to visitors before the tour begins. Those buildings close once the 4 p.m. tour ends.\n \nWhat You’ll Experience\n\n\nWalk through staff-only hallways and service areas\n\n\nVisit the attic infirmary and learn about estate-era care\n\n\nVenture into the basement and underground tunnel (subject to availability)\n\n\nHear insights and lesser-known stories from our expert guides\n\n\n \nKnow Before You Go\n\nThis 50-minute tour includes multiple staircases and narrow spaces.
