The estate was donated to the University of Michigan in 1957 for a new Dearborn campus.
The staff's former houses and a pony barn are used by the University of Michigan–Dearborn, including a child development center.
The main house, powerhouse, garage and 72 acres (0.29 km²) of land were operated as a museum, while a restaurant occupied the former indoor swimming pool natatorium until the University closed Fair Lane to the public in 2010.
In 2013 the stewardship of the estate was transferred to the same non-profit group that operates the lakeside Edsel and Eleanor Ford House, with financial help from the Ford family.
