House and Gardens

Guided and self-guided tours are a wonderful way to get to know Cranbrook House and the 40 acres of breathtaking gardens that surround it. As the oldest manor home in southeastern Michigan, Cranbrook House offers a distinctive glimpse into a time when décor and artistry merged. The surrounding gardens, tended by hundreds of volunteers throughout the year, are filled with colorful, scented blooms and ornate greenery, side by side with exquisite fountains and sculpture.

Please note: We regret that tour times can change with little or no notice.
