RV campers are welcomed to our beautiful 10-acre grounds at the Sanilac County Historic Village and Museum. At this time, we do not allow tent campers.

Campers are invited to use our two large communal bonfire pits. Firewood is available for purchase. Advance notice is recommended.

Guest WIFI is available in and near the Mansion but does not reliably connect to our camping areas.

Here you will find beauty, quiet, and privacy. Be sure to wander our brick/stone path and nature trail that combine to make a one-mile walking path around the grounds. You'll enjoy bridges, swings and benches to rest awhile, a boardwalk, a fairy garden, 14 flower gardens, birds and wildlife, and lots more! The path also winds past each of our 17 historic buildings and the 1942 U.S. Army Troop Train.

We host weekend events during the summer months, including historical re-enactments, Farmers' Market, live music, outdoor yoga and fitness classes, bourbon tasting parties, Rockin' the 70's Music Festival, and much more!
