HISTORY
The historic home was previously owned and operated by the Charley Creek Foundation. Pursuing a vision of preserving historic assets and enhancing Wabash’s arts and cultural assets, the Charley Creek Foundation was pleased to transfer ownership to The Honeywell Foundation in early 2015.
Before his passing in 2014, Charley Creek Foundation founder, Richard Ford, requested The Honeywell Foundation continue the growth and direction of the Dr. Ford Historic Home. Mr. Ford had a long history with The Honeywell Foundation as a Life Member, serving as part of the official governing body.
