15230 C-Drive N, Marshall, MI 49068

The Bear Creek Farm holds a special place in the hearts of area locals. The property is steeped with a deep cultural heritage that began with the Potawatomi People who lived in this area in the winter because the fast moving creek would never freeze. This property has been home to steam mills, numerous farms, a bed & breakfast, a photography studio, and a home to a friendly Christian community. Learn more about this fascinating history during the tour!  

Benedict Home

Klein Home

This home is not only a modern highlight of the 59th Annual Marshall Historic Home Tour, but it also resides in the esteemed Kesselwood neighborhood. This community, known for its upscale homes and private cul-de-sacs, offers a contemporary contrast to Marshall’s historic district. Developed in the late 1990s, Kesselwood represents the town’s expansion and modernization, yet it retains a connection to the area’s natural beauty with its wooded lots and scenic trails. It’s a perfect example of Marshall’s ability to grow while preserving its unique charm and character.

Murray Home

Step back in time in this 1930 brick Tudor Revival, a masterpiece where history, craftsmanship, and imagination merge.

It’s not just a house; it’s a celebration of eras past and the beauty of timeless design.

Fountain Home

Crosby Home

15631 Katherine Trail, Marshall, MI 49068

Experience the charm of a home inspired by the iconic Frank Lloyd Wright style during our Home Tour. As you wander through the rooms, you’ll notice the thoughtful design that allows for a seamless flow between indoor and outdoor spaces. Bask in the warm glow that bathes the classically adorned interior, courtesy of the abundant natural light streaming through the expansive windows. Outside, the property is just as impressive, with landscaped gardens that complement the home’s geometric lines.

St. Mary’s Rectory

214 S Eagle St, Marshall, MI 49068

First Baptist Church

305 Michigan Ave, Marshall, MI 49068

The Reverend Thomas Z.R. Jones, a traveling missionary, began visiting the Marshall area in 1838. On January 16, 1840, he helped organize the First Baptist Church of Marshall with eight members. The group erected this church in 1850-51. They enlarged and remodeled it in 1876 with plans provided by Benjamin J. Bartlett of Chicago. The handsome Romanesque church, now the oldest church edifice in the city, features rounded-arch stained glass windows and an early example of a modified Akron (semicircular) seating plan.
