Put-in-Bay's Benson Ford Ship House Fundraiser Tour August 17th, 2025

The Benson Ford Ship House is one of the most unique and interesting homes in America, and since it is privately owned, it is rare to get a glimpse inside. But on June 9th, a few hundred lucky attendees will get to take a fascinating tour of this marvel of a home, and all proceeds benefit island causes! Last years funds went to purchase the Put-in-Bay sign at the State Park.

Tours will take place between 11:00AM-2:00PM, this page will be updated with more information as needed. There will be no parking on site, so we highly recommend taking a taxi 419-285-5466 or 419-285-4386 to the tour. No cars permitted on site.

All proceeds go to various Island Causes.. Before the event you will be given an hour time slot so we can manage the number of people at the ship at a time. When you are done with your tour you are welcome to stay on the outside decks of the ship or take pictures of the stunning vista of the Ship and the shoreline!
