Henry Ford Feeding Deer at Fair Lane Estate, circa 1916
Add to SetSummary
In the 1910s, many of Detroit's wealthy citizens abandoned the city for eastern suburbs. Henry and Clara Ford sought a different path. They selected 1300 acres of farmland in Dearborn (west of Detroit) as the site for their new home. The rambling grounds of the Fair Lane estate - with a herd of deer - suited the nature-loving couple well.
