Ford House is a 501c3 nonprofit and a National Historic Landmark. Experience the historic family home of Edsel Ford, the only son of Henry Ford, and his wife, Eleanor. Now a National Historic Landmark, visitors from all over the world come to wander, wonder, and explore the beauty of this 1928 National Historic Landmark and uncover a unique piece of the American automotive story in metro Detroit. The Fords were cultural, social, and economic leaders in an era of great optimism, as well as a turbulent time of economic depression and world war. They were nationally prominent, and they owned more than one house, but Southeast Michigan was their home. Here, they built their final residence along the shores of Lake St. Clair at a place known locally as Gaukler Pointe. Their impressive yet unpretentious home is where they raised and nurtured their four children - Henry II, Benson, Josephine, and William - in a safe and loving environment. It reflects their love of family as well as their mutual passion for art and quality design.
