Greenfield Village Block Party: Welcoming the Jackson Home to the Neighborhood

Mark a historic milestone with The Henry Ford during the grand opening of the Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson Home the weekend of June 12-14.  

We invite you to the Greenfield Village Block Party, a joyous celebration of community, courage and culture featuring special programs, Southern-inspired food, musical performances, a Black-owned Business Market and more as we welcome the Jackson Home to the Greenfield Village neighborhood.  

Stay tuned for more program details coming soon.  

Due to time and space limitations, we cannot guarantee access to the inside of the Jackson Home for all guests who attend the Greenfield Village Block Party. Timed reservations will be required to access the home. Special programming will extend throughout the village.

Entry to the Jackson Home is free for members or included with village admission. However, the home is a historical artifact with limited interior space. To provide access to as many guests as possible and ensure a safe, comfortable experience, reservations will be required to tour the home during the opening weekend celebrations and beyond.

Free, timed reservations to visit the home beginning June 12 will be available starting on April 29. Reservations can be made online or by phone at (313) 982-6001. You may also make reservations on-site at any admissions sales point or in Greenfield Village at the Jackson Home Reservations and Information Booth, located on State Street near the William Ford Barn paddock.
