The 2011 Heritage Festival
Home Tour celebrates the charming village character of Douglas,
Michigan. The buildings opened for this special event are modest in
size but ideal for today’s "small is beautiful" design and living
sensibilities - and they range in time from the village’s oldest
(1851) to stylishly contemporary. Together, they mirror the
interesting lives of the people who live in Douglas today.
See the various ways that
historic structures have been preserved and re-imagined for
contemporary use. You’ll be delighted by the sophistication and appeal
of this West Michigan village.
