Home for the Holidays at Ford House
Edsel & Eleanor Ford House’s Home for the Holidays runs Friday, November 27, at 5:30 p.m. at Ford House in Grosse Pointe Shores: a softly lit evening walk, both floors of the Main Residence open, and a Mistletoe Market with warm drinks. Timed tickets required.
This three-part evening starts with a half‑mile walk from the Visitor Center through illuminated gardens to the Main Residence, continues with a self‑paced visit across both floors styled in Eleanor Ford’s understated elegance, then loops back past the Mistletoe Market for warm drinks and themed gifts along Maple Lane. Plan for about 60–90 minutes, with an optional Santa photo on the way out.
Park in the Visitor Center lot and explore on foot; there’s no shuttle. Expect roughly one mile total on pavement, wood chips, gravel, and grass—some sections can be challenging for wheelchairs, strollers, and walkers. Rain, snow, or shine—dress for winter. Entry is timed; arrive no earlier than 15 minutes before and have tickets ready to scan. Children 2 and under are admitted free. No dogs (ADA service animals welcome). No outside food or drink; concessions are available on the route.
