More information on Henry Ford Estate

The home of automobile pioneer Henry Ford and his wife Clara from 1915 to 1950, this estate, known as Fair Lane, reflects Ford's love of nature and his simple, eclectic tastes. Originally set on 1,300 acres of wooded land, the estate includes a powerhouse recently restored to operating capacity. Most of the land was given to the University of Michigan, but the remaining 72 acres was designed a National Historic Landmark in 1966. The house was built with roughly hewn Ohio limestone. Much can be learned here about one of history's most important men. Also see Henry Ford Museum.
