Reserve Your Visit to the Jackson Home

Step into a home where ordinary life met extraordinary purpose. The Dr. Sullivan and Mrs. Richie Jean Sherrod Jackson Home opens to the public on June 12. Carefully relocated from Selma, Alabama, the home comes to The Henry Ford with inspiring stories from the forefront of the Civil Rights Movement. 

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 Greenfield Village Block Party and beyond.  

Members are highly encouraged to take advantage of our extended member preview from May 19-June 5 for early, guaranteed access to the Jackson Home.

Member reservations to visit the home beginning June 12 will open April 29.

Members will be able to make reservations online or by phone at (313) 982-6001. Reservations can also be made on-site at any admissions sales point or at the Jackson Home Reservations and Information Booth located on State Street near the William Ford Barn paddock. Same-day walk-up reservations are not guaranteed.

Additional timeslots for member reservations will become available throughout the village season.

Nonmember reservations to visit the Jackson Home beginning June 12 will open April 29.  

Nonmembers will be able to add a timed Jackson Home visit to ticket purchases made online or by phone at (313) 982-6001.
