Welcome

Welcome to Cranbrook House and Gardens, the oldest manor home in metro-Detroit and the centerpiece of the Cranbrook Educational Community campus, a National Historic Landmark.

Formerly the estate of Cranbrook founders, newspaper mogul George Gough Booth and his wife, Ellen Scripps Booth, the manor was designed in the Arts & Crafts Style by noted Detroit architect Albert Kahn in 1908. 

This tour begins with an introduction to the founding family and a brief history of Cranbrook, after which it will guide you through the gardens around the house.
