The Michigan Central Railroad Depot opened on July 27, 1888. Rogers and McFarlane
of Detroit designed the depot, one of several Richardsonian Romanesque - style
stations the Michigan Central built between Detroit and Chicago in the late nineteenth
century.
Thomas Edison as well as Presidents William Howard Taft and Gerald Ford visited here. The depot was acquired by the New York Central Railroad in 1918 and Amtrak in 1970. The depot was listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 1971.
