Allegan County Heritage Trail
Tour
The Allegan County Tourist Council has developed a
self-guided tour so that people can discover and have
adventures into the history, sights and sounds of Allegan
County. This
tour will allow people to see historic villages and towns as
well as bountiful farmlands and orchards which were and still
are the backbone of this rural county. More information on the
Heritage Trail Tour can be found at www.allegancounty.org/heritagetrail/. This
tour has numerous stops, but it is not necessary to do them
in order, they can be completed in any order.
We plan to place caches at each historic stop along
this tour. Our
goal with this series is to have fun, but also to enjoy the
beautiful sites of Allegan County. We also hope that we can
bring some history of the area to people who are
interested. Now
let’s get on with our journey.
Where do Flowers Come
From?
You are now in the midst of a huge flower farm,
surrounded by hundreds of acres planted in a variety of
blooming perennials. Throughout most of the
growing season, the area is ablaze with color from the many
different flowers that are grown here.
This land is leased from local farmers by a
commercial flower farm that produces live perennial plants
that are sent to commercial greenhouses all over the
country.
Since this is a commercial farm, they do not have any
shops or visitor services for retail sales. But they don’t mind if you stop
and smell the flowers and enjoy the view!
This is a regular size container. Have fun!
