Step Back in Time at the Haven Hill Festival!

Over a hundred years ago, the Haven Hill section of Highland State Recreation Area was a country home to Edsel and Eleanor Ford. Edsel was the son of Henry Ford, the man who created the Ford Motor Company and changed the way cars were made. Edsel and Eleanor built a beautiful country estate here called Haven Hill, where they could relax and enjoy nature away from the busy city. Today, the old buildings from their estate are still standing, and during the Festival, you'll get the chance enjoy the inside of each building and learn their stories. AND free shuttle buses will be provided that can transport you to every historic site!
