Artifact Overview
In the early 1910s, Henry and Clara Ford selected 1300 acres of farmland in Dearborn, Michigan, as the site for a new home. The Fords hired landscape architect Jens Jensen to design the grounds surrounding their Rouge River estate, called Fair Lane. Jensen created meadows, gardens, orchards, grottoes, wandering paths, and other natural settings for the couple -- and their guests -- to enjoy.
