Metamora offers small-town, rural living outside of Detroit
Located in Michigan’s lush countryside, it might be hard to believe Metamora Township is only 52 miles from Detroit. The rural area seems a world away from the big city, but it has plenty of conveniences to offer. Metamora Village is found in the heart of the agricultural area, and Metamora Crossroads Historic District attracts visitors from across the region. There’s also a small commercial corridor along the M-24, with local restaurants, quick service eateries and a Dollar General. The community also has its own golf course at the Metamora Golf and Country Club. This is a tight-knit community with many parades, bar crawls and other events to bring the people together. In fact, each August, Metamora Country Days is an annual heritage celebration with an antique car show, craft vendors and a hot air balloon launch. Metamora Township lets residents escape the overwhelming pace of the city for a tranquil home base in rural Michigan.
Downtown Metamora Village hosts a number of small, locally owned businesses.
Metamora residents can improve their putting at Metamora Golf & Country Club.

Historic inn serves comfort food in a restored 1850s building
Part of the historic district, The White Horse Inn has been operating since 1850 despite various name changes over the years. Instantly recognizable by its massive stone chimney, this is the oldest store in the township. Restored and renovated in 2014, the building features many of the original fixtures and doors in surprising ways. For instance, in the washrooms, you’ll find old doors taken from rooms on the inn’s second floor, along with vintage hardware on the sinks. The restaurant serves reimagined comfort food in a cozy, inviting atmosphere, and in the winter months, you can dine outdoors in heated igloos, provided you’ve made a reservation before they’re booked up.
