This place so Cool
History is preserved at Mill Race Historical Village, a gem of the Northville community. Beginning in 1972, the buildings were moved from other locations in Northville, or reconstructed on site, on land donated by the Ford Motor Company. The Village is home to the circa 1831 Cady Inn, the reproduction Hirsch Blacksmith Shop with a working Smithy on open Sundays and at special events, the 1845 New School Church, the 1851 Greek Revival Hunter House, the 1873 Carpenter Gothic Yerkes Home, a Gazebo built in 1979 by high school students, a circa 1889 Victorian Cottage, the JM Mead General Store, circa 1830-1850, an original Interurban Station, built in the 1890's and of course our beloved circa 1873 Wash Oak School. Imagine your wedding on the Charming Grounds or in the Church of a Historic Village of the 1800's. The Cady Inn is available to rent for private events. The one room school house is available to rent for teachers wanting to take schoolchildren back in time for the day!

A beautiful place to go for a short stroll. Consists of 7-8 historic buildimgs moved on site for occasional school day trios, weddings and many parties posing for pictures. Has a gazebo and a number of benches...grab a book and a coil drink and enjoy the atmosphere. Adjacent to Ford Field with access to downtown Northville

Summer Wedding
We booked our ceremony to take pace in the historic church (vs on the grounds or in the gazebo) and had pictures taken on the grounds before and after. The property itself is beautifully maintained, and was available to us for 2 hours exclusively for our event. The whole experience was wonderful. Our docent met us and our guests to make sure everything was as we planned, including a key to the lift to allow our musician easy access with her harp. Communication with the Northville Historic Society and their Business Director was prompt and thorough.They even had an 'emergency kit' for us with water, mints, needle and thread, and lovely note.Thank you for giving us such a memorable day!
