Located in St. Clair County
Emmett Township is a rural community in St. Clair County, Michigan, with a small village, open roads and miles of country landscapes. Founded in 1850, Emmett Township was an early settlement for Irish farmers who processed corn and wheat from the local grain elevator. Over a century and a half later, agriculture continues to drive daily life in Emmett Township while residents enjoy easy drives to Detroit and Port Huron.
Older homes are spread out along dirt and gravel roads north of the main village. Many ranch-style homes sit on wooded acres with tall oak and pine trees, while some farms with ponds and crop fields have extra sheds and barns. A handful of Colonial and Farmhouse-style homes were built in the early 1900s, and a few Craftsman homes come with additional amenities such as basements and recreation rooms. Homes that are less than 2,000 square feet can range from $100,000 to $400,000, while houses that are over 3,000 square feet with large lots and three-car garages range from $500,000 to $820,000.
The 3-acre Emmett Township Park is situated in a wooded area right by the township hall and has a playground with slides and swings. It was recently updated with a new walking trail and pavilion in 2025, where car shows and weekly farmers’ markets are held. The James and Alice Brennan Memorial Nature Sanctuary encompasses 118 acres of wooded forests with wildlife such as owls and hawks. There’s a 40-acre Emmett KOA Holiday campsite on the eastern end of the township that’s open May through October. It also has a 4-acre lake where campers can go swimming and fishing. Sunny Fields Botanical Garden offers tours through fields of over 1,400 different plant species such as daffodils, lilacs and hydrangeas. The 18-hole Holly Meadows Golf Course, in Capac, is open to the public and features an on-site restaurant and banquet hall.
There are very limited storefronts in the township itself. Trombley’s Country Market is a locally owned establishment that sells pizza, donuts and deli sandwiches. It also occasionally hosts farmers’ markets, hog roasts and miniature pony rides. Scooter’s Pub is a local bar that speaks to the township’s Irish roots, and Grump’s Restaurant & General Store has been serving its hamburgers and sandwich wraps for over 70 years. Emmett Hardware has been assisting households with their repair needs since 1985, and there’s a Dollar General in town where residents can pick up snacks and groceries. More shopping and dining options are available 10 miles away in Yale or Capac.
Students in the township are zoned for either Yale and Capac’s public school systems, both of which offer school choice. They earn a B-plus and a C-plus, respectively, on Niche. Farrell-Emmett Elementary School is located within the village and earns an A-minus. Yale Junior High School has a mentorship program for its students and earns an A-minus. Yale Senior High School offers advanced placement courses and earns a B-minus.
Interstate 69 runs along the south side of the township and leads around 17 miles west toward Imlay City and around 20 miles east toward the 24-hour Lake Huron Medical Center in Port Huron. There are no buses or transit services that run through the township, so most residents are car-dependent to get to Detroit over 55 miles southwest. Detroit Metro Airport is over 70 miles away and serves more than 30 million passengers a year.
