Enjoyable Event.
Just attended a Rochester Rotary event. It was an evening event for members. They do allow you to have events catered there. The Barn is very attractive inside and out. ayou can walk around outside and the flowers and grounds are well maintained. It is a well kept farm.

A must for local history
Learn how some of the early settlers were influential in early Michigan. The house is a must visit at Christmas. The barn is also quite interesting with its artifacts from early Michigan farming.
