    The key · here be storiesPins sit at each place’s street address; stories without an address sit round their town. A pin with a small number holds several places at one spot: press it for all of them. Close together, pins fold into a numbered circle: press it to zoom in. Layers switches the kinds of place on and off, changes the map underneath (Map, Photo, Night, Plain) and turns on the 1860 town plans of Cassopolis, Niles, Dowagiac and Paw Paw. ✓ marks places in your passport, ★ places in your day.

    On the map: 176 museums and historic places, 56 stories, 156 festivals, 130 places to eat and stay, 61 outdoor places, 17 public beaches, 23 makers from Made in the Valley, the walk stops, the old postcards, the lost towns, the old town plans and the two 3D models.

    “Open now” and the day you pick use each museum’s posted hours, and each festival’s 2026 dates; places with no posted hours drop out when a day is chosen. “Free” means free admission as posted. Your day list and passport stay on this device. Map pins come from each street address. The base map (Map and Night) is drawn here in the site’s own colours from OpenStreetMap (© OpenStreetMap contributors, through the open Protomaps basemap), served from this site, so nothing is fetched from anyone else. Topo and Photo are from the USGS National Map, a free public-domain service of the US Geological Survey; your browser fetches those map pieces from the USGS while they are chosen. County lines: US Census Bureau; rivers: USGS. “Near me” asks your browser for your location and uses it only on this page. “Directions” opens Google Maps. Hours and dates change: check each place before you go.
