Welcome
The Michigan House is an 11 acre, rural homestead built from the ground by Blondena Weaver in 1958. Now, we, the granddaughter and great-granddaughter of Blondena are working to preserve this property, preparing it to welcome generations to come.

History
The patio was a place where elders & children gathered, told stories & welcomed guests hailing from all over the Midwest and beyond. Horseback riding, barbecues, church picnics, community organizer retreats, volleyball, fish-frys, basketball, softball and an annual apple picking event were just a few of the ways that people came together at the country home.

History
Inspired by the socio-political climate in Chicago, Blondena Weaver saw a need for a serene space of solace for her family and friends. Just a two hour drive away, the house in Western Michigan has been just that for thousands over five generations.
