If you’re lucky enough to be at the Bay on June 14th, you’ll have a chance to see the inside of an iconic Put-in-Bay landmark, not to mention one of the most unusual residences in the United States. At one time, the Benson Ford Ship House moved cargo across the waters for Henry Ford. Now, it overlooks the shore of Put-in-Bay atop a hill, cut in half and serving as a home! On June 14th, you can take a tour of this incredible home, and help raise money for Put-in-Bay causes at the same time!
Where to buy Benson Ford Ship House Tour tickets:
When the link to purchase tour tickets goes live, you can find it here.
There is no parking on site, so if you are coming bear that in mind. The team in charge of the event suggests taking a taxi to the home.
There will be two Ship House tours in 2026, one on June 14th, and the other on August 9th. Be sure to buy tickets for the correct dates, they are not interchangeable.
