Children's Christmas Party with Santa Claus, Henry Ford Hospital, December 25, 1945
01
Artifact Overview
Henry Ford Hospital opened in Detroit, Michigan, in 1915. While its namesake, auto magnate Henry Ford, was the hospital's primary benefactor, others made their own contributions. In 1930, oil refiner Harry B. Earhart established a fund to purchase presents for all children, and many adults, who were in the hospital during the Christmas holiday. Earhart's fund continued for 20 years.
