1835 Spring Arbor Village

Education
1
In 1835, both sides of Hammond Road were the site of a village with a storekeeper, a tailor, a shoemaker, a blacksmith, and many others who sustained a busy community life. To the northeast lay 210 acres that Deacon William Smith donated twice for a college campus: in 1835 for what resulted in Albion College, and in 1844 for what later became Hillsdale College. This pudding stone was moved in 1992 from the north side of Hammond Road near Smith's residence.
