See what’s special about Hillsdale County Officially established in 1835, Hillsdale County has a rich history dating back to 1821 when Chief Topinabee and the United States Government signed the Treaty of Chicago which opened south central Michigan to settlement. The Pottawattamie Indians, led by Chief Baw Beese, inhabited the area at the time and were welcoming to the white settlers. Chief Baw Beese and his tribe reluctantly moved west in 1840 with other Indian tribes who were forced out of Michigan.

In 1827, the family of Captain Moses Allen, the first white people to journey down the Sauk Trail, settled the Village of Allen. A year later, W.P. Jones III and his family settled just to the east along the Sauk Trail (today known as US-12 or Chicago Road) in what is now the City of Jonesville. As the original county seat and first established center of commerce in Hillsdale County, Jonesville thrived as a popular stopping point between Chicago and Detroit.

The City of Hillsdale began to prosper in 1832 when John B. Cook and Chauncey Ferris arrived from New York State and built a flour mill. Later known as the F.W. Stock and Sons Mill, it was for many years the largest flour mill in the United States east of Duluth, Minnesota. Settlers continued pouring into the area, and, in 1843, Hillsdale became the county seat. Also in 1843, the first railroad west of Toledo reached the city, and Hillsdale remained an important rail center for many years. A decade later, Adam Howder built a tavern and Hillsdale continued its rapid growth, becoming the largest community in Hillsdale County. Founded in 1844 as Michigan Central College in Spring Arbor, MI, internationally-known Hillsdale College assumed the city’s name and relocated there in 1853.

In 1835, a small community originally called Basswood Corners for a stand of basswood trees growing nearby became the City of Reading. With the arrival of a railroad station in 1869, Reading experienced a building boom and increased economic activity. Like many communities in Hillsdale County, the City of Litchfield, initially incorporated as a village in 1877, also benefitted economically in the mid-1800s from the arrival of the railroad.

Camden, Jerome, Montgomery, Mosherville, Osseo, Pittsford, Somerset, and Waldron are other communities whose early beginnings helped shape the history of Hillsdale County.

Members of the Hillsdale County Art Guild display their works at businesses and public meeting places throughout Hillsdale County, and the guild hosts biannual art shows and sales. Since the early 1990s, ArtWorks of Hillsdale has supported the performing and visual arts through a myriad of activities geared to highlight Hillsdale County artists, musicians, and vocalists. The Hillsdale County Community School of the Arts sponsored by ArtWorks annually holds a String Festival for Hillsdale County youth.

The Hillsdale County Fair—billed as the “The Most Popular Fair on Earth”—has drawn visitors from the tristate area to the community since 1851. Held annually beginning the third Sunday after Labor Day, it brings a fitting close to the harvest season. The fair proudly celebrates Hillsdale County’s agricultural heritage with a foundation built upon 4H/FFA children who bring animals, crafts, baking, photography, and more to display as exhibits during the fair. It also features a carnival and daily grandstand entertainment including live music concerts and horse pulling contests which over the years have resulted in several world record pulls. One of the oldest buildings on the grounds is the Grange Hall, listed as a State Registered Historic Site.

Fortunate to have many of its original buildings still standing and in use today, architectural gems can be found throughout Hillsdale County. The Downtown Hillsdale National Register Historic District has many well-preserved, mostly Victorian era buildings. Hillsdale City Hall, St. Peter’s Episcopal Church, St. Anthony’s Roman Catholic Church, and the First United Methodist Church are State Registered Historic Sites. The Hillsdale County Courthouse, located in the heart of the district, is a State and National Register Landmark.

Another important State Registered Historic Site is the Will Carleton Poor House restored by the Hillsdale County Historical Society. Today it is a museum

honoring W i l l Carleton, M ichigan’s p o e t laureate for four decades who immor talized the building in his poem “Over the Hill to the Poor House.”

The Poor House hosts a variety of events during the year including “Christmas at the Poor House” the first weekend of December and an annual Farm Festival the first Saturday of August.

Jonesville has three National Register Landmarks: Grace Episcopal Church, J.J. Deal and Son Carriage Factory, and the Grosvenor House Museum. E.O. Grosvenor, once the Lieutenant Governor of Michigan, headed the commission in charge of building the Michigan State capitol building and

the same architect designed his carefully preserved home.

The 32-room Victorian museum is open for public tours and private parties. During the first two weekends of December, the museum hosts “Christmas at the Grosvenor House.”

Situated in Somerset, the W. H. L. McCourtie Estate, known as McCourtie Park, is a State and National Register Landmark. The park, believed to hold the country’s largest collection of el trabejo rustico, was created by Mr. McCourtie after he was inspired by the Mexican folk tradition of this unique sculpting process that makes concrete look like wood. Located close by in Moscow, the Moscow Township Hall, originally the Michigan and Ohio Railroad Depot, is a State Registered Historic Site.

Much of Hillsdale County’s history is contained within the Mitchell Research Center housed in the stately 19th century mansion of Charles Mitchell. In addition to the extensive collection of archived newspapers, genealogy, and historical records housed there, it also showcases the Pulver Collection, a gathering of approximately 7,400 fiction and nonfiction works about the State of Michigan.

hillsdale outdoors A Water Sports Paradise Five thousand acres of water including 70 lakes and the headwaters of five major river systems make Hillsdale County a premier location in the tri-state region for fishing, swimming, boating, canoeing, kayaking, and water skiing. Many lakes have public access and public boat launching areas including the county’s largest, Baw Beese Lake—an all-sports lake of just over 400 acres; Bear, Bird, Cub, Diane, Hemlock, Little Long, Long, and Round lakes also have public access.

Pike, perch, bass, crappie, muskie, catfish, and other varieties of fresh water fish are plentiful in Hillsdale County lakes. Long Lake has walleye; Bird and Bear Lakes have trout; Baw Beese, Bear, Bird, and Round Lakes are plentiful with bluegill. Lake Diane is a popular spot for large catfish and muskie. The only registered pay lake in Michigan, located in the northwest corner of the county, touts it has the largest catfish in Michigan. Trout fishing enthusiasts can try their luck in the Kalamazoo River near Mosherville and on the East Branch of the St. Joseph of Maumee River in the Lost Nation State Game Area.

Ice fishing is a favorite winter pastime in Hillsdale County, especially during the many popular tip-up festivals held in the area. The Hillsdale County Conservation Club Tip-Up Festival, held the last weekend of January, is the second-oldest tip-up festival in Michigan.

The State of Michigan waives fishing license fees twice each year: the third weekend of February and the first week in June. This allows residents and out of state visitors to test their angler skills. Inland and Great Lakes waters fishing regulations still apply.

A Trail Runs Through It A section of the North Country Trail weaves its way through Hillsdale County. From the Ohio border, it moves north through the rolling hills of the Lost Nation State Game Area and into Hillsdale and Jonesville, eventually heading northwest to Calhoun County. Lost Nation also

Aside from the Lost Nation’s portion of the trail, eight miles of paved trail running from Sandy Beach at Baw Beese Lake in Hillsdale and ending in downtown Jonesville wind along water features, wooded areas and neighborhoods and is a favorite of bicyclists, walkers, runners and bird watchers.

Guests can hunt or trap species including pheasant, quail, Hungarian partridge, chukar, and elk. Several of the annual tip-up festivals in the county feature hunting and trapping contests.

Mud on Your Tires Located on US-12 approximately two miles north of Jerome in Somerset Township, Bundy Hill park is a vast, 350-acre area containing twenty new, challenging trails that have been groomed specifically for ATVs, ORVs, Jeeps, bikes, side-by-sides, 4x4 rigs, and crawlers. You’ll find everything on these trails: mud, rock crawls, tire crawls, wooded trails, steep hills, gullies, pea-gravel climbs, hooddeep water, and plenty of off-camber challenges throughout the park. Bundy Hill Offroad takes pride in being an alcohol-free and family-friendly place to wheel for all ages.

Bird Watching Hillsdale County has more than 260 species of birds from deep woods to open grassland varieties. Wild turkey, swan, warbler, crane, heron, owl, pheasant, and occasionally birds of prey like the osprey and bald eagle are sighted. A migratory bird sanctuary is located in the Somerset State Game Area.

business & industry

Rooted in manufacturing and agriculture, Hillsdale County serves major markets with a mix of industries producing molded plastics, wood products, textiles, paper and food products, and medical and automotive components. Warehousing, product distribution, and test facilities are also part of the industrial mix. Agricultural commodities such as soybeans, corn, and wheat are the main products grown and sold. Over 1,000 agriculturally-related enterprises in Hillsdale County produce beef and dairy cattle, sheep, swine, vegetables and fruits, perennials, and forest products. Because of its central location between Detroit and Chicago, proximity to US-12, M-99, US-127, I-69, and I-80, and favorable business climate for manufacturing and agriculture, these sectors will continue to be driving forces in Hillsdale County’s economy.

Hillsdale, Litchfield, Camden, Jonesville, and Reading all have developed industrial parks served by modern infrastructure, some with access to high-speed internet. Throughout the county, you will also find clusters of industrial activity in places like Pittsford, Osseo, North Adams, and Waldron.

Buying a home

Your Realtor has the inside scoop regardless of whether you are buying an existing home or looking at new construction homes. They know the area’s real estate market inside and out and can help you get the best deal possible.

While the web has transformed the way people shop for homes and empowers you as a buyer to go into your house hunt well-informed, the sheer amount of information out there will be difficult to navigate alone. Dizzying even.

And though buying a house appears to be all about the numbers on the surface, the reality is that you’re about to get on an emotional rollercoaster. a realtor can help you step back and look beyond poor styling to focus on the structural qualities of the home so you don’t miss out on a house with hidden potential. At the opposite end, your agent sees through professional staging and camera angles that expand room size in online listing photos, directing your attention to the fact that the stylish pad you love lacks the square footage and storage on your must-have list.

Disc Golf

Disc golf is played much like golf. Instead of a ball and clubs, though, players use a flying disc or Frisbee®. The sport was formalized in the 1970s and shares with golf the object of completing each hole in the fewest strokes (or, in the case of disc golf, fewest throws).

Disc golf is designed to be enjoyed by people of all ages, gender identity, and economic status, making it a great lifetime fitness activity. Because disc golf is so easy to learn, no one is excluded; players merely match their pace to their capabilities and proceed from there.

READY TO SWING A CLUB?

W

— By Melissa McCance —

ith more public courses than any other state in the nation (over 850 of them, according to Forbes Magazine), Michigan offers resident and visiting golfers a wide selection of places to enjoy the game they love. (Or, love to hate, depending upon how the day’s round goes!) The list below is not exhaustive, but it gives an idea of your choices if you live in our area. Some public courses offer memberships that can save you money if you golf frequently, so be sure to look into that when you find a course you love to play.

(Note: Some courses have more information provided simply because there was more available!)
