Main Residence Holiday Guided Tour
Where holiday lights, historic charm, and understated elegance invite you to slow down and savor.
Travel back in time and celebrate the season with the Ford family. On the Main Residence Holiday Guided Tour, you’ll step inside their historic lakeside home, decorated in the understated holiday style of Eleanor Ford. Rather than over-the-top displays, Eleanor preferred gentle greenery, soft candlelight, and carefully chosen accents that created a warm and welcoming atmosphere while highlighting the home’s beauty.
As you move through each room, your guide will share stories of the Ford family’s traditions and gatherings, offering a glimpse into how Eleanor and Edsel celebrated with elegance, grace, and a focus on family.
This 50-minute tour includes stairs and is not accessible for those with mobility challenges. Tickets are limited, and advance registration is strongly recommended.
Planning a 4 p.m. Tour
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.
