If you want to time travel – and step back into an era of graceful, elegant living and imagine life as heir to a furniture company fortune – then, explore Heritage Hill. This is the city’s oldest residential district and Michigan’s largest and finest concentration of nineteenth and early twentieth-century houses. These were the homes of lumber barons, politicians, bankers, attorneys, judges, and clothiers who shaped the city’s future. This is was where the upper crust lived…on “the hill”. Learn about the history of these magnificent historic homes…their architecture and the people who built them. This tour is divided into multiple parts as it traverses varying sections of the stunning, tree-lined residential streets.
