Work Party Entry

On January 13, 2008 we had a great group of volunteers come out to the Highland Recreation Area and work on the Edsel Ford Haven Hill barn. More large tarps were put on the roof to stop water and snow damage, and lots of interior cleanup was accomplished as well. It was my 1st time inside of the barn. Edsel Ford Barn Interior Photo

Believe it or not, the photo above is a picture of the SECOND FLOOR... the barn is huge! Click on the image to see a larger photo.

All of the volunteers had a great time and the weather cooperated (snow and rain were in the forecast but none fell). Keep in touch... a more extensive post will be coming soon...

This blog (established 1/12/08) documents the efforts of the Friends of Highland Recreation Area to "rehabilitate and preserve the vast educational resources of Haven Hill" - the past estate of Edsel Ford on the grounds of the Highland Recreation Area in Michigan. Ford Barn 020606

Tomorrow my wife Eva and I will begin our "on-site" involvement with the restoration of the Edsel Ford barn. This massive structure is what drew us to the project in the 1st place. What a magnificent building!
