The Jackson Home Member Preview
Be among the first to step inside the historic Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson Home in Greenfield Village. Relocated from Selma, Alabama, the home comes to The Henry Ford with inspiring stories from the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement.
Opening to the public on June 12, the Jackson Home is the first home to be added to Greenfield Village in more than 40 years. Members are invited to be part of this historic moment during an exclusive, extended member preview from May 19-June 5.
Due to space constraints, capacity of the Jackson Home may be limited during the 2026 village season. Members are highly encouraged to take advantage of this opportunity for early, guaranteed access to the home.
During these 18 days of exclusive member access, timed reservations are required to enter the home.
