Overview

Experience the joy of the season with Home for the Holidays at Ford House — a serene, one-mile walk through lighted gardens, historic architecture, and the elegantly decorated Main Residence.

Your evening begins at the Visitor Center Plaza, leading to Josephine’s Playhouse, aglow with cheerful lights and festive music. The path continues through the Formal Garden and above the Rose Garden, offering beautiful winter views. Along the way, trees, gardens, and historic buildings sparkle with lights, and the Christmas train circles inside the Recreation Building.

Inside the Main Residence, explore the first floor at your own pace, adorned with Eleanor Ford’s signature understated holiday elegance. Afterward, visit Santa’s station in the original laundry room for a smile and photo.

The route then winds along Maple Lane through towering trees and past the quiet Meadow before returning to the Visitor Center. Designed for all ages, Home for the Holidays at Ford House offers a calm, heartwarming escape from the season’s bustle — perfect for making lasting memories together.

This year, Home for the Holidays at Ford House will be filled with even more cheer! Enjoy live carolers performing festive favorites throughout the season — each group bringing their own special sound to the holiday magic.
