Ithaca, Michigan

48847

The seat of Gratiot County, Ithaca combines a serene, historic downtown business district with a recently developed industrial park on the east side near the U.S.-27 expressway and beautiful Woodland Park on the west. The magnificent Courthouse dominates the east end of the business district on Center Street; the historic Fire Hall is an imposing landmark several blocks to the west. Picturesque farms flank the city limits on both sides; the agricultural heritage of the area is celebrated in a Agricultural Expo each June. A Michigan State Police post is located just north of town.
Ithaca's population abounds in creative energy, as evidenced in the work of a local sculptor displayed on lawns north of town, several very attractive gift and antique shops, a motel owner who sculpts graceful images of sea life, and a native son, Dick Allen, who has served in the Michigan Legislature, chaired the Michigan State Fair, and founded the DALMAC (Dick Allen Lansing to Mackinaw) Bicycle Tour that precedes each Labor Day weekend.
