The largest axial meadow, the "Path of the Setting Sun", is aligned so that on the summer solstice the setting sun glows through a precise parting of the trees at the meadow's western end.

I always love mr. Ford's estate it is a place where you always want to go when you're stressed out that's living the life we supposed to have I took my best friend and his kids there and they loved it we're going again thank you mr. Ford and their family. And may God be with you God bless you

Brandy Wallace

I went to walk to ground and took some beautiful pictures. They close at 6 so be sure to leave at 6. They are not open weekends which is very sad. Weekends are the best time to go and spend the day.

The home is under renovation so it's closed. However, the grounds are open and free to the public. Beautiful grounds for photos. We ran into a volunteer who gave so much historical information. It was like a private tour in the garden. It's a must see.

Great shopping

An absolutely breathtaking estate. Sad that the actual house was closed, but the grounds were still magnificent. We were able to see people restoring candle holders outside the house and were very nice. Very peaceful and just magnificent!

Awesome place. Just wish it was open a bit later.

Jeremy Larraza

Beautiful piece of history, it really is a must visit!

Steven Simmons

Awesome place, loads of history, unfortunately dogs not allowed.

Michael Dingess

Stunning.

Ihsan Deeb

I absolutely love this historical place, but I got kicked out because unfortunately you can't shoot photos here without a daily permit and it's around $150 or so just to take photos of your clients. Seriously? What a bunch of money hungry people, I hope Henry Ford is in his grave right now ashamed of there greediness.

Laura Odea

E;j&jjoooooooooo%tttttttttttt

Jordan Salisbury

Fun place to just get out and walk

Carol Allie

I was visiting here with a group of young people. We had a lovely time exploring the estate.

Jennifer Moody

Fair Lane has always been beautiful, but with the restoration they're doing, it's going to be breathtaking once finished. The sneak peek we got was worth not being able to see it for several years. I love to walk the grounds in the summer - it's amazing to have such an impressive estate in the middle of the city.

D Ayers

Even with the renovations there is still a lot to see and do. The gardens are breathtaking. The staff is very helpful

Keith Remelts

Beautiful grounds in the winter time. I would imagine they're breathtaking in the summer. If you're looking for a nice place for a quick stole this is the place!

Ahmed Badr

Great landscape nice location for some quick shots

Darian Rawson

Definitely worth a stop. I did the tour years ago when it was open for that and it was awesome. I hope it opens again for tours.

Kellie Schudel

Beautiful grounds, perfect for taking photos and enjoying the landscape, the house itself is closed for renovations.

Christopher Washington

ent with my sister, my husband and adult son for Father's Day weekend auto show. It was wonderful. There were campers from the 50s and 60s too. The best part is we got to do everything we wanted to but couldn't as kids.

Very nice place but on Friday 25 2018 around 6:10pm we were taking prom pictures of my daughter, a Security young African American guy with braids, unprofesional and disrespectful that was on duty came up to us asking if we knew at what time they close. I told him I didnt know and he said these STUPID words...We close at six and you need to get out of here and moving his arms and hands said SO SCOOP...TREATED MY FAMILY LIKE DOGS...I hope his gets FIRED....

John Lane

The grounds in the building's really are pretty fantastic when you consider they were built at the turn of the century. The only downside right now is that it's closed on the weekend for renovations but it is however open during the week. That does not include the main house or tours those are suspended as of now they may resume once the renovations are complete there are no notices giving any explanations. However you can park on the University of Michigan Dearborn campus and walk to the Fairlane house which also known as Henry Ford's house is accessible just by crossing the street. The gardens in the walking trails are still open for the most part. Once the Fall colors of really picked up it's going to be a very beautiful place.

William Pictor

It is closed for remodeling. You can walk the grounds.

Brian Nuorala

It's a step back to a different place in time. The history and people who made a met here were the best of their time.

This is my favorite spot to be. I come as often as I can. Brought a friend for the first time. Walked the grounds. Beautiful.

John Vervoort

Very pretty

Daniel Russell

Very beautiful and relaxing the fountain and garden is great

Ganj Beebani

While the building is closed to the public during the transition, the exterior is still quite beautiful to enjoy. The grounds are designed to simulate nature by the architect Jens Jensen, which includes two meadows, a rose garden, a pond, a treehouse, and a brook which makes a serene sound. Walking all the trails can take up to six hours if you choose not to skip anything. Take a book with you on a relaxing day and read by the brook for a secluded afternoon. Take binoculars to watch the beautiful birds fly by.

Leah

Beautiful grounds, nice place to walk around and have photo shoots

Edward Bailey

Michelle Ranken

emptycokebottle 123

This is my run away to spot when I am overwhelmed by life. This is a beautifully kept treasure in Dearborn. My favorite spot is by the dam. The rushing water and beautiful birds and gardens calm my spirit. Try not to miss this jewel if you come to Dearborn, Mi..

Frank Nemecek

The interior of this legendary historic home is closed for renovations. However, the grounds are open and anyone is welcome to enjoy them. Walking the grounds is a great way to spend an afternoon.

Cheryl Gibson

We Love it there. We are on our 3rd generation going and walking the grounds. I miss the restaurant so much. I hope they bring it back also. The restoration work looks good. I can't wait till it is completed.
