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!

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