Henry Ford Estate – Thomas Edison Hydroplant Tour 2021 | September 24: 11AM – 3PM | Dearborn, Michigan
Ω
The Southeastern Section of IEEE will host another tour of the Fairlane Estate — Home of Clara and Henry Ford — where Henry and Thomas Edison built a hydropower plant on the Rouge River across the street from the University of Michigan Dearborn.
This is among the first residential direct current hydropower microgrids ever built in the United States.
Our previous tour took place in April 2019 and is documented at the bottom of this page
