VOTE FOR GREENMEAD!

We’re in the finals! Greenmead Historical Park is vying for the national title as Best Historical and Cultural Places in Local Government through Engaging Local Government Leaders (ELGL). Greenmead has a long history dating back into the 1800s and family events all year round. Known as the Knope Award, this national award had 60 nationwide parks in the running for it, with the top 32 coming in a single-elimination playoff bracket determined by a public online vote. We’re the only Michigan location to advance into the 32-team bracket and we’re now down to our final opponent: Chautauqua Park in Boulder, Colorado.
