Very good museum and grounds. One learns a lot about the lives of both Ford and Edison and how they influenced each other. The grounds are beautiful, right on the water. The homes are lovely, observed through large open doors which is adequate. The guided tour is well worth it. Visit on a nice day as much of the museum...

This museum was so interesting! Go on a day that is not too hot though, because there outdoor walking that is gorgeous and a must see. I learned a lot and enjoyed a peaceful afternoon in the beautiful landscape.
Gained a better appreciation for the lives and contributions of Edison and Ford. Recommend the $25 historian led tour. The various gardens and trees are very pretty.
This will no way occupy you all day but for a few hours its fun. Pity you cannot go into the houses but from the porches you get a pretty good look inside. Its much more about Edison than Ford but that is obvious.
I was advise to make a visit by a friends from Brooklyn and again I was not disappointed.
There was a fee for the different alternatives. We did not take the tour of his house or the guided tour.

Wow! So glad we finally had the opportunity to visit this place. The grounds and homes are beautifully situated on the river and we enjoyed every minute we had there. We opted for the guided tour and felt it was worth the extra few dollars. It's all outdoors, though, so choose a good weather day!
Visited in mid May 2013. $20 each admission for the audio 'tour' was at least $15 overpriced. At least we didn't get ripped off $25 for the tour led by a guide. There is so little here to see, it was hard to fill half an hour. I cannot understand why the organisation would proudly state it spent $1 million...

Worth the trip from a historical perspective. We take family and friends when we are all in the area. Not a cheap place to visit but great for all hisory buffs.
