Artifact Overview
Henry Ford's revival of early American dancing encouraged others to join in. In January 1926, members of Detroit's Twentieth Century Club held a ball featuring the old-fashioned dances. Most everyone came in period costume. Henry and Clara Ford looked elegant in their "old fashioned" garb--Henry in a waistcoat and vest, and Clara with a pink silk gown and her hair dressed in side curls.

Henry Ford loved music-especially the fiddle tunes he enjoyed at the country dances of his youth. As a young man, Ford bought this inexpensive fiddle and learned to play it a bit. Though he was never able to play as well as he would have wished, Ford's love of the fiddle and rural dance music remained with him throughout his life.
