About The Event
The Northville Historical Society warmly invites you to a delightful Tea, celebrating the birthday of Clara Ford.
Step back in time and celebrate the gracious legacy of Clara Bryant Ford, the woman who helped shape the heart behind Henry Ford’s vision. Join us for a charming afternoon tea filled with period-inspired treats, warm conversation, and fascinating stories that bring local history to life. The program includes a discussion about Clara Ford presented by a representative of The Henry Ford Museum.
This is a perfect chance to connect with fellow members, enjoy a relaxed social setting, and honor a remarkable woman whose influence is often overlooked. Come for the tea -- stay for the history, camaraderie, and a touch of elegance from a bygone era.
