Imagine being able to go back in time to see what it was like 100 years ago. Take a step into the Corunna Historical Village of Shiawassee County. Stroll along the boardwalk, relax and enjoy the gardens, and wonder what history these buildings have witnessed over the years. Thanks to the efforts of two organizations, the Corunna Historical Commission and the Shiawassee County Historical Society, this village became a reality in 1990.
It is beautifully decorated with Christmas lights in the winter months, and is worth a short drive to Corunna to see!
