Croswell Michigan a Terrific Town!

Croswell, Michigan is just a bit off the beaten path and, therefore, often unexplored by the day trippers.  For those who seek the unusual, history and fun festivals, Croswell has plenty to offer.  The downtown is sprinkled with charming shops and local eateries but, some really cool stuff is hidden just out of sight.

History is all around.  One of the oldest fairs in Michigan is held here, the www.croswellfair.org .  The Sanilac Petroglyphs are nearby as well as the wild Minden Bog.

Railroad enthusiasts will find that the Huron and Eastern Railway Co. (HESR) and its "sister" operation, the Saginaw Valley Railway Co. (SGVY) have served the "Thumb Area" of Michigan since 1986, when their first section of track was acquired from CSX Transportation. This first segment ran from Bad Axe to the end of the line, including the town of Croswell.

Another historical part of Croswell is the Aitkin Memorial District Library, located on the north end of town. The library first opened in 1912 as the Croswell Free Library and Reading Room in two rooms above a barber shop. It eventually was named after banker, lawyer, and State Senator William H. Aitkin. When he died, his wife and son presented the library with a memorial fund in 1927. With this fund, a new building was built. This new library was dedicated on March 23, 1931.

The quality of life here is special.  Business and community are served by the Commercial Club and the DDA.
