Visit Ford House for Free During Community Appreciation Day, Sunday, April 21

Ford House is thrilled to announce Community Appreciation Day, a special event dedicated to celebrating the vibrant community that surrounds the historic estate. On Sunday, April 21, 2024, Ford House invites its neighbors for a day of exploration, connection, and fun with free admission.

Community Appreciation Day is Ford House’s way of expressing gratitude to the wonderful individuals and families who make up the community. It’s an opportunity for neighbors to come together, enjoy the beauty of this National Historic Landmark, and forge new connections.

During this special event, visitors can explore the majestic grounds of Ford House, take leisurely strolls through our picturesque gardens, and immerse themselves in the rich history of the estate. Guests can visit The Shop to discover unique gifts and explore the unique exhibitions in the Visitor Center, like The Ford Family Story and Making It Work, a celebration of the staff who cared for the family and the home.

“We are delighted to invite our neighbors to Ford House for Community Appreciation Day,” said Mark J. Heppner, President & CEO of Ford House. “One of our core values is love. Eleanor Ford truly loved Detroit and its people, and this event is our way to express our love for our community. It is a celebration of the remarkable people that exist here, and we look forward to welcoming our community for a day of exploration, connection, and camaraderie.”
