About this event:

Embark on a rare adventure through Ford House, exploring spaces seldom seen by the public. On this captivating guided tour, you’ll visit hidden corners, journey down the underground tunnel* to the Power House, step into the attic, and discover the fascinating infirmary—all offering unique glimpses into the estate’s rich history.

This 50-minute experience includes staircases and may not be accessible for those with mobility limitations. With limited availability, we recommend booking in advance to secure your spot for this unforgettable look behind the scenes.

After your tour, enjoy the gardens and grounds, explore three exhibitions in the Visitor Center, dine at our restaurants, and browse The Shop at Ford House.

After your guided tour, we encourage you to explore the grounds, gardens, and auxiliary buildings. You can also stop by the Visitor Center’s three exhibitions. Grab a bite in our restaurants and visit The Shop at Ford House.

* The tunnel is a part of the Nooks & Crannies tour, but we must occasionally close it for maintenance and preservation. To find out if the tunnel is available on the day of your tour, please contact 313-884-4222.
