Led by an expert guide, the tour explores how architecture, furnishings, color, and materials transformed over time while remaining true to the home’s original character.

As you move room by room, you will encounter layers of design shaped by influential designers and craftspeople, along with creative decisions made by Eleanor and Edsel Ford themselves. From subtle refinements to bold updates, each space offers insight into how the family balanced tradition with modernity.
