David & Tara Chicatelli
owners of the
Edsel and Eleanor Ford
Honeymoon House
in
Detroit’s
Indian Village Historic District
(near Van Dyke and Jefferson)
have graciously agreed to host
the picnic in their expansive yard.
Their home was built by banker Enoch
Smith in 1915. The home was then purchased by Edsel B. Ford in 1916 prior to
his marriage to Eleanor Clay on November 1st of that year. Known as the "Ford Honeymoon House", the Edsel Fords lived
there until late 1921. Henry Ford II (1917 -1987) and Benson Ford (1919 – 1978) were born while the Ford’s
lived there.
The Chicatellis have generously donated half the cost of this catered event which has reduced the price to only $10
per person. Please bring your cash or check to the picnic.
The menu includes: Hamburgers, BBQ Chicken, Italian Sausage w/ peppers & onions, Baked Beans,
Pasta Salad and dessert.
