Beautiful carriage ride through Marshall, Michigan

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."

We thought about cruising around town on these

beautiful bicycles.

Gorgeous replicas of old time 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.

This home was just gorgeous!

I fell in love with the front of his house immediately.

Loved this window!

There was even a PINK house.

Several of the homes we went by were up for sale.

Sad sign of the times.

LOVED this one too!

Most if not all of the homes had beautiful

landscaping.

I hope you enjoyed seeing these beautiful old homes.

I will be back this week to show you some of the

amazing stores we went in.

One antique store was called

*Amazing Grace Antiques*...and it was

definitely amazing!!

Blessings~
