From trailblazers like HP Jacobs to remarkable places like the Willow Run Bomber Plant – Ypsilanti is home to a great deal of history. In fact, Ypsilanti is one of Michigan’s largest historic districts, with approximately 20 percent of the 4.4 square miles designated historic. Many have called the city home, and constructed beautiful houses in the process. What if we told you that some houses from the 1800’s still stand in Ypsilanti today?
