Reading the buildings is a way of connecting with our past. By taking the Saugatuck Walking Tour, you will enjoy learning its diverse and rich history, which is unique and yet in many ways a microcosm of the history of small town America.

Walking Tours are scheduled for 2:00 pm on Wednesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays in July and August except for Sunday July 4 because of the parade. Tours start at the Information Booth on the corner of Butler and Culver Streets across from Town Hall at the traffic light.

 

 
Brilliant talent in our small village every summer.
