BRIGHTON
The most unique feature of downtown Brighton is its lovely and tranquil setting next to the Mill Pond. Children enjoy playing in the 10,000-square-foot Imagination Station playground, while watching the families of ducks and geese that make the Mill Pond their home. Visitors can take a walk along the Tridge, Brighton’s riverside boardwalk, past the historic cemetery to the connecting restaurants. Whether on a search for art galleries, boutiques, gift shops, a farmers market or just a great place to eat, you will find it in Brighton – don’t miss out.

FOWLERVILLE
Some of us remember the days when one could visit a small town and find one-of-a-kind shops like a homemade candy store or an old-fashioned dime store with wooden floors filled with knick-knacks and notions. Fowlerville is just that kind of community. Merchants in the downtown area still offer friendly service and are happy to see visitors in the area. When planning your visit you may want to arrive during the Fowlerville Fair. Not only are there live concerts with country/western music’s biggest stars, but the Livingston Centre Historical, Fowlerville’s turn-of-the-century historic village, is open for public tours.

Hartland’s classic setting is perfect for those who enjoy exploring and discovering little known quaint villages. Historic buildings like the Florence B.
