Part of the museum's Curated Places: Inside the Home series series, this evening at the Ford Estate invites guests to experience one of Coachella Valley's most significant private residences in an intimate and thoughtfully designed setting.

The evening begins with a welcome reception on the grounds, offering guests time to arrive, gather, and take in the setting before moving onto a guided tour of the home. The experience provides rare access to the interiors of the estate, highlighting its architectural presence, layered history, and continued life as a private residence shaped by care and stewardship.

As guests move through the home, the evening unfolds as a closer look at the stories embedded within the space, from its architecture and design context to its evolution over time. 

Light culinary offerings and beverages will be served throughout the evening, intended to complement the relaxed, immersive nature of the evening.

This is an invitation to experience the Ford Estate as a living space, shaped by history, preservation, and the ongoing relationship between past and present. 

Hosted by John McIlwee.
