Please join us for a special opportunity to tour Applewood: The Charles Stewart Mott Estate in Flint, Michigan!

Applewood was built in 1916 as a gentleman's farm for the Charles Stewart Mott family and is listed on the National Registry of Historic Places. The home and grounds encompass approximately 34 acres that include an orchard with 29 varieties of heritage apples and 18 acres that are extensively landscaped. The original gatehouse, barn and chichen coop complete the estate.

Ruth Mott generoulsy gave Applewood to the Ruth Mott Foundation, bestowing full responsibility for the estate upon her passing in 1999. Rooted in the Mott legacy of philanthropy, Applewood continues to embody the family's commitment to the community by hosting community events on the grounds of the estate. The house has been primarily used to host small community meetings and has not previously been open to the general public. 

However, with the upcoming celebration of Applewood's 100th anniversary in 2016 the foundation has been preparing to open the house and gardens for tours and programs. We invite you to be the first group to experience the new tours. A guided tour of the home and gardens will be provided, followed by  light refreshments and an opportunity to evaluate your experience. 

Please call Rebecca Hope at 313.833.1801 for more information.
