Clara Ford and Henry Ford Dancing, 1924
Add to SetSummary
In the mid-1920s, when Henry Ford decided to revive the traditional dances of his youth, he held an old-fashioned dancing party in the barn at the Dearborn, Michigan, farm where he grew up. This party -- likely the Halloween dance held at the Ford farm in 1924 -- was among the first of many old-fashioned dances Ford would host over the next twenty years.
