How did Creston get its name? What did Creston residents do for work 100 years ago? What architectural styles are represented in our houses? Learn all these things and more!

Meet at 1431 Plainfield to begin a guided walking tour of nearly 2 miles.

10:00am-12:00pm – Arrive, pick up a tour sheet and navigate around the neighborhood on this self-guided tour.

10:15am – If you’d like to join a group rather than guide yourself through the walking tour, join a guided group with local history expert Julie Tabberer.

12:00pm – Meet at Petersen Plumbing for lunch and cake!

Did you know this year is Petersen Plumbing’s 100th anniversary? Celebrate with them over lunch and cake, and check out their antique plumbing equipment, including a toilet from 1889!

All ages welcome. Tour may be self-guided; feel free to adapt for ability. We call it a walking tour, but it would be fun on bicycle as well.

This is a FREE community event, thanks to our sponsors PETERSEN PLUMBING, Grand Rapids Public Schools and Bloom Credit Union

The history research for this project is funded in part by Michigan Humanities, an affiliate of the National Endowment for the Humanities, and made possible in partnership with Calvin University.
