Dog Days of Summer
Dog Days of Summer
Dog lovers, rejoice. For one special summer week, Ford House welcomes you and your four-legged companions to explore the estate together during Dog Days of Summer.
From Tuesday, July 28 through Sunday, August 2 from 8 a.m. to sunset, leashed dogs are invited to join their humans on the scenic grounds of Ford House. Enjoy peaceful walks along tree-lined paths, through gardens and open meadows, and beside the shoreline of Lake St. Clair, taking in the sights, sounds, and seasonal beauty of the estate. This experience offers a rare opportunity for the public to enjoy dog-friendly access typically reserved for Friends of Ford House.
Want to bring your dog more often? Join Friends of Ford House for exclusive permission to walk your dog on the estate throughout the year.
Designed as a relaxed, self-guided visit, Dog Days of Summer invites guests to slow down, enjoy the landscape, and share a meaningful outdoor experience with their canine companions.
