Home for the Holidays Poetry Program - Call for young poets!

🎉 Ford House is celebrating the arts and giving back this holiday season! In honor of the Ford family's legacy, we’re inviting students (ages 12-18) to submit poems on the theme “Home for the Holidays” for a chance to be published in a special chapbook during Home for the Holidays at Ford House. Not only will your poem be shared with visitors, but Ford House will also make a contribution to The Family Center of Grosse Pointe & Harper Woods—and we encourage YOU to join us in supporting this wonderful cause!

Learn About Our Education Programs

From tours to trivia night! Our education programs are perfect for the entire family.

Ford Cove Project
