Currently, it's an office building with a theater showing Broadway quality shows, and some shops and restaurants on the ground floor. One of the most recognizable sights on Detroit's skyline, the building is also known as "The Golden Tower." The original gold-leaf tiles on the tower were covered with asphalt during WWII for fear of bombing. Following the war the damaged gold tiles were replaced with green terra cotta tiles that are illuminated gold at night.

It was cold and rainy, so not a day for cruising the grounds, but the shuttle drivers were most accommodating. Lovely gift shop and restaurant. Brittany was our waitress and was an absolute gem. We had the shrimp and grits. My friend and I haven't seen one another in a couple years, so this visit was mostly about reconnecting, which we were completely able to do. There was no rush and we were able to chat and sip our coffee from the lovely China cups. It was a great afternoon.

The home was built by/for Edsel and Eleanor Ford (Edsel was the son of Henry Ford), completed in 1928. It's a historic house, but the property offers so much more than, too. The house was designed by famed Detroit architect Albert Kahn (earlier in the day, we had walked by a past a mural that read "We Kahn Do It" - that's how famous Albert Kahn is in Detroit). It is an example of the English Cotswold style of architecture, and Kahn and the Fords found and purchased pieces from historic English home (antique wood paneling, fireplaces, stained glass, etc.). The home is incredible. There are several ways to enjoy the property. You can purchase grounds admission only to walk and explore the grounds. You can also purchase a self-guided tour or guided tour of the home, both of which include grounds access. We did the guided tour, and I'm glad we did. We learned a lot about the Fords, the home, their art collection (the home has some originals and some copies - the originals of which have since been gifted to the DIA or other museums), and more. Our tour guide was lovely - informative and friendly. Our tour was for a late Friday afternoon, so we were a total of 5 (2 people in addition to my family group). After our guided tour, we wandered around the grounds a bit. There are incredible views of Lake St. Clair, sculptures, a swimming pool, a lagoon, the children's playhouse, a power house, and more. The property isn't huge, but there is a shuttle that will take you from the visitor center to the house, if you need a lift. The visitor center is beautiful and offers some exhibition space, a beautiful restaurant where saw lots of people enjoying a meal or some wine (The Continental), a grab and go option for people without time for a meal (Speedster), and a very nice giftshop. I had only been to Detroit once before, and I didn't get a chance to visit the Grosse Pointe area of the city last time. The house is in Grosse Pointe Shores, and I even loved the drive out to the house - you pass such beautiful homes (mansions?)! We had a wonderful visit at the Edsel & Eleanor Ford House. I highly recommend it if you're interested in neo-English architecture, historic homes, the Ford family... or if you just want to visit somewhere incredibly beautiful within 20 minutes of downtown Detroit!

Tours are $20 and you're welcome to walk the grounds after, plus stop by the Playhouse (tiny house that was for the Ford's 7-year-old granddaughter) and the garage, where five antique vehicles are housed. The tour lasts an hour, our tour guide was Dan and he was great. My husband works for Ford so I thought he'd find the tour interesting, too. There's another tour, called Nooks and Crannies, that dives deeper into the house and it's history, and I'd like to take that one next. The grounds themselves are beautiful and there is a lot to see, including the displays in the Visitors Center, Bird Island, and the places I mentioned above. The Visitors Center also has a gift shop. I've heard they do concerts here in the summer, and I saw on Instagram that they will have a butterfly house, too, so I'll have to come back another time for that. Overall, I really enjoyed Ford House and hope to come back for the other tour at some point too.

The former Clerk building has been transformed to a museum and is part of the Clinton Township Historical Village, a group of small historical centers in Clinton Township. The Moravian Hall hall museum is an 1880's building housing artifacts and information on the history of Clinton Township (such as locks from the nearby Clinton-Kalamazoo Canal), and the 1850's Williams Log Cabin, newly-refurbished as a living history museum. Inside, it's a small one storey flat and many of the artifacts are encased. There is no fee to enter and it will take anywhere from 5-40 minutes depending on how interested you are in local history.

It was way easier to get from one place to another this time, despite it being sold out, and I never felt crushed or overwhelmed like I had in the past. Performers were still incredible and the set up is just visually stunning. I spent a lot of the night just taking video or pictures, I just couldn't help myself! It's all so so cool. The only complaint I have from this year is the line to get in was wild. We had tickets and it still took an hour to get in. Maybe because we came at peak time around 9pm? But I was a doozy. Luckily they make the line engaging with performers out front. It helped that this year was a warm night. When it's cold it's not so fun! But either way, it's a blast to watch all the costumes walk by and chat with fellow attendees in line, so while it's kind of a bummer standing outside for so long it could definitely be worse! If you've never been, mark you calendars for October 2018. It's something everyone in the Detroit area should experience at least once!

Just plain fun. Spooky, creative, entertaining as hell. Hope to go again if it ever returns.read more

The upstairs gallery was closed when we were there, so we just browsed the shop, which is full of all sorts of beautiful ceramic items like tiles, vases, art, and more. I liked seeing all the different pieces but nothing really shouted out to me. The animal tiles were probably my favorite. I also liked the house number tiles. They also had other non-ceramic items for sale, like earrings, puzzles, calendars, cards, etc. It is a nice place to find gifts! They also do classes and workshops, which sound fun! This isn't a spot that I need to visit every time I'm in the area, but it was fun to finally check out.
