If you haven’t visited the Henry Ford Estate recently, one of Dearborn’s unique landmarks, here is a new reason to do so.

The Artists’ Society of Dearborn has been invited by the Henry Ford Estate to exhibit original works of art created by its members of and about the grounds of the estate. Capturing the Beauty: The Landscape of Henry Ford Estate will display work in many media throughout the home and The Pool Restaurant from June 30th-Aug. 31.

An opening reception is set for Tuesday, June 30th from 6-8 pm at the Estate. All are invited. 

From a modest beginning in 1949 when 25 individuals interested in art met in Pansy Taylor’s living room, The Artists’ Society of Dearborn continues to grow. Its members share and develop through art, while contributing to our community. The Artists’ Society of Dearborn is an umbrella member of The Dearborn Community Arts Council.

Henry Ford Estate-Fair Lane, A National Historic Landmark, is located on the campus of the University of Michigan-Dearborn. This national treasure is an exceptional historic site that sheds light on our history and helps explain our past. Rich with technical and architectural wonders, the 31,000-square-foot estate was the family home of Henry Ford and his wife, Clara, for more than 30 years.

The Estate stands as a reminder of Dearborn’s part in shaping the history of the world. It’s a unique landmark where one can celebrate, dine, shop and explore. Tours are available Tuesday – Sunday 10:30 a.m., 11:30 a.m., 12:30 p.m., 1:30 p.m., and 2:30 p.m. The Pool Restaurant is open Tuesday – Friday from 11 a.m. – 2:00 p.m. for lunch.
