Ford House After Dark LogoAbout this event:

Step into the allure of Ford House after dark for an exclusive, intimate evening—limited to no more than four couples, with a maximum of eight guests per session.

Begin with a private sunset dinner at The Continental, where you’ll enjoy a complimentary drink as day fades to night. Then, with a keepsake Ford House cup in hand, head to the Main Residence for an unforgettable behind-the-scenes tour led by Director of Material Culture Lisa E. Worley.

As shadows deepen, explore hidden rooms, rare artifacts, and family stories that come to life in new and mysterious ways. With only a few invited, this is your rare chance to experience Ford House, as few ever will.

Please note: this tour involves navigating stairs and uneven surfaces and may not be suitable for all guests with mobility limitations.
