Renovations are underway at the old First National Bank, aka Peregrin 100 building on the corner of Michigan and S. Kalamazoo Mall. See what has been hidden behind the walls all these years.
Seven of Kalamazoo's historic buildings were open to visitors the tour and see some places that the public normally doesn't have the chance to see. Check them out here.
The annual Hidden Kalamazoo Tour allows you the very rare opportunity to tour historic and iconic buildings in downtown Kalamazoo. Here's a look at the buildings set to open during the 2017 tour.
The oldest building on the 2016 Hidden Kalamazoo tour is the Chase Building, now home to Hiemstra Optical. Before the tour or if you missed it, take a look inside.
ZOMG!!!
I love history. It's a passion. I also love that you don't have to take a trip to Gettysburg, Stonehendge, or Machu Picchu to get a good history fix. History is in your own backyard... and in the State Theater, the Ladies Library, the Chase Building...
