The manor of automobile magnate Edsel Ford and his wife is not much bigger than many of the mansions in the Grosse Pointes, but it is the only one that is open to the general public. The 87-acre estate on the shores of Lake St. Clair is a peaceful hideaway and the beautifully landscaped grounds are open to visitors. The house was designed by the renowned architect Albert Kahn and features original paintings by Matisse, Cezanne and others. Other decorative arts and fine furnishings abound. Guided tours offer a good history lesson!
