The Ford Homes Historic District is known for its unique
architecture and attractive landscaping. The subdivision was the
idea of Henry Ford who learned that many of his employees at the
Henry Ford and Son Tractor plant, located near Michigan Avenue and
Oakwood, were commuting from rented homes in Detroit. At the time
the Detroit street-car system was crowded and took an hour to reach
Dearborn. Ford suggested a group of homes be built near the plant.
His architect, Albert Wood drew up six different designs for the
new Ford Homes District.

was skiing. In summer, bushwhacking will definetly be a part of
this cache hunt.
After a heavy rain, flooding may make hunting the the cache
dangerous or impossible. Just wait a few days until the river
recedes. Wear boots!
