Hide Profile

The chapel in Greenfield Village at The Henry Ford was built in 1929; the design was based on a larger Universalist church in Bradford, Massachusetts. The bricks and doors came from the Greenfield Township Bryant family home in which Henry and Clara Ford were married. The structure was named for Martha Bryant and Mary Litogot Ford, the mothers of Clara and Henry. Five replicas of the Georgian-style chapel were constructed by Ford in various locations around the country, although only the one in the village was made of brick.
