Artifact Overview

In the early 1910s, Henry and Clara Ford selected 1,300 acres of farmland in Dearborn, Michigan, as the site for a new home. They would call the estate Fair Lane. In 1916 the couple moved into the newly constructed, 56-room mansion. Henry and Clara would find their new home a peaceful respite -- surrounded by woods, meadows, gardens, and the nature they loved.
