Artifact Overview
In the 1910s, many wealthy Detroit citizens abandoned the city for eastern suburbs. Henry and Clara Ford sought a different path. They selected 1300 acres of farmland in Dearborn (west of Detroit) as the site for their new home. This shaded, winding drive led to the residence at Fair Lane estate, where the Fords enjoyed privacy in a natural setting.
