The Jordan Valley Bohemian Settlement is centered in a wide green valley at the junction of M 32 and St Johns Rd approx 7miles east of East Jordan. St. John Nepomucene Church is a gothic-revival, fieldstone covered structure originally built in 1890. Across the street is a white clapboard schoolhouse dating from 1887 though more recently renovated. Down St Johns Rd a bit (a mere stones throw) is Norma Petrie’s older-than- centennial-original Bohemian homestead: a charming brick farm house, shaded by elderly maples, lilacs and a catalpa behind a curtain of pines. Directly behind the house is an 1870’s log cabin. Karen Kimmell and Norma Petrie are our hostesses at this site.

Castle Farms. M-66 south of Charlevoix. You can’t miss this well-known Charlevoix Co. landmark, originally built in the 1920s and designed to replicate a castle in Normandy.

The Castle will open early for us at 9 am and we will have access until closing at 5p so you may want to bring a lunch. Check in at the gift shop and get a map of the grounds.
