We visited the beautiful city of Marshall, Michigan yesterday
and loved every minute of it.
"Marshall is best known for its cross-section of 19th- and early
20th-Century architecture. It has been referred to by
the keeper of the National Register of Historic Places as a
"virtual textbook of 19th-Century American architecture."
It is home to the one of the nation's largest
National Historic Landmark Districts.
There are over 850 buildings included in the Landmark."

beautiful bicycles.
...but we opted to travel this way instead.
I am sure it was a wise decision considering us old
codgers. lol. Loved the ride and wished it was longer.
The carriage ride took us on a tour through the historical
district and it has the most beautiful homes.
The house above was one of my very favorites.
I could move right in today! :)
We saw amazing Victorian trim on a lot of the homes.
{I had to edit some pictures as they were crooked and
this one didn't turn out too great...the house on the left
really wasn't crooked like the picture shows. }
They paid much attention to detail back in the old days.

Very enjoyable tour. I'm so glad you had a great time.
Lovely! Wishing I was there! So beautiful, thanks for sharing.
Lovely...
My husand and I have been to Marshall MANY times over the 25 years ( each summer ) we spent driving from Indianapolis to Canada...to spend a couple of weeks at our friends cabin up there.
We always ate at Win Schuler's famous old Restaurant as well.
And visited ALL the antique shoppes I could possibly fit in in one day....but that left LITTLE time for touring the town..so THANK YOU for showing us some of that which we missed ...loved the tour.
We live in Texas now...so we will probaby never get to Marshall again unfortunately.
Glad you had such a nice time.

I love Marshall! Your picture of all the beautiful homes are wonderful! Did you get a chance to go in any of the shops while you were in town? There are some really neat ones! We love eating at Schuler's, such a pretty setting & great service. Hubby is a pilot, so we sometimes fly there, and the restaurant will pick us up at the airport & then we have lunch!
Oh... this is the town for me!! I LOVE old architecture! What a wonderful way to spend the day. Thanks for the tour!!
Hugs ~ Jo :)

So beautiful!!!
I love that they have bike rentals...there was bike rental locations all over Paris when we were there and I thought it was such a fabulous idea...you could return the bikes to any location around the city!
Glad to see you are having a nice Summer :)

Oooh Sandi, how beautiful! I would love to own any one of those gorgeous homes... they just don't build them like that any more! And how fun to ride in a carriage to see them all! xoxo Julie Marie PS Can't wait to see the antiques stores!
