Hilltoppers: Henry Ford Fair Lane Estate

Thursday, April 5, 2018

All are invited to Hilltoppers on April 5 at noon. Come for a special preview of one of this summer’s outings—to Henry Ford’s Fair Lane Estate in Dearborn. On Thursday, June 28, we will visit Fair Lane, the final residence of Henry and Clara Ford. It is currently closed to the public for a five-year $62 million dollar renovation, but First Pres’ Mature Ministries have been invited to visit and talk to the team responsible for its unparalleled transformation. Mark Heppner, Vice President for Historic Resources at the Historic Ford Estates, will share the story of the estate’s construction, residency by the Fords, post-Ford ownership by the University of Michigan-Dearborn, and recent transfer back to the Ford family, who have undertaken the current ambitious restoration.

Join us for a sneak peak into one of next year’s most exclusive—and exciting—opportunities. Lunch: $5. Sign up in the Church Office (734-662-4466) or email Rev. Rogers at mrogers@firstpresbyterian.org.
