Meadow Brook Hall hosts dazzling Masquerade Ball

Murder, glamour and an atmosphere of intrigue will transform Meadow Brook Hall this October, with the debut of the all-new Masquerade Ball.

The first-ever Masquerade Ball at Meadow Brook will set a glamorous tone with a strolling dinner with chef attended food stations, open bar, live music by Kimmie Horne, dancing, and a fortune teller.

The masquerade will be a black-tie affair where the tuxedos are sleek, the gowns are glittering and masks are a must. Guests will have the option to explore The Hall through self-guided touring as well.

The Masquerade Ball is set for 7-10 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 18. Reservations are required. Tickets are $100 per person. To make a reservation, visit meadowbrookhall.org/masquerade-ball or call (248) 364-6252.

Meadow Brook Hall is fully self-supporting, relying on special events such as the annual Holiday Walk for the preservation and interpretation of this National Historic Landmark. For more information, call (248) 364-6200 or visit meadowbrookhall.org.

Meadow Brook Hall is the historic home built by one of the automotive aristocracy’s most remarkable women, Matilda Dodge Wilson, widow of auto pioneer John Dodge, and her second husband, Alfred Wilson. Constructed between 1926 and 1929, Meadow Brook Hall represents one of the finest examples of Tudor-revival style architecture in America, and is especially renowned for its superb craftsmanship, architectural detailing and grand scale of 88,000 square-feet. It was the center of a country estate that included 1,500 acres, numerous farm buildings, recreational facilities, several residences and formal gardens.

Named a National Historic Landmark in 2012, Meadow Brook Hall strives to preserve and interpret its architecture, landscape, and fine and decorative art so that visitors may be entertained, educated and inspired by history.
