Artifact Overview
In the mid-1920s, when Henry Ford decided to revive the traditional dances of his youth, he held an old-fashioned dancing party in the barn at the Dearborn, Michigan, farm where he grew up. This party -- likely the Halloween dance held at the Ford farm in 1924 -- was among the first of many old-fashioned dances Ford would host over the next twenty years.

Henry Ford was born in this farmhouse on July 30, 1863. The house stood near the corner of present-day Ford and Greenfield Roads in Dearborn, Michigan. Ford grew up in the house and moved out at age 16 to find work in Detroit. He restored the farmhouse in 1919 and moved it to Greenfield Village in 1944.
