Isolated and rural, but still plenty to do in Tecumseh
Surrounded by farmland, Tecumseh brings a small-town feel to its rural setting. Parks, local restaurants and longstanding annual traditions give residents plenty to do, all about an hour away from the busyness of Michigan cities like Ann Arbor and Detroit. While locals have pretty much everything they need in Tecumseh, the town of Adrian offers even more commercial options 10 miles south.
Many of Tecumseh's downtown buildings have been standing since the city's establishment in 1824.
Tecumseh's walkable downtown is filled with dozens of shops and restaurants for locals to peruse.

From historic Nationals to recently built New Traditionals
Tecumseh’s sidewalk-lined streets offer historic National-style homes built in the late 1800s and early 1900s alongside condos and ranch-style homes. It's not uncommon to see pedestrians stopping to admire the gardens outside large historic homes. Builds become more modern away from the city center, as streets lined with younger saplings and New Traditionals fill subdivisions on the south and north sides of town. Older homes tend to sell for $180,000 to $330,000, while the New Traditionals range from $400,000 to $640,000.
Cottages and ranch homes round out Tecumseh's home market with affordable starter homes.
Closer to Tecumseh's downtown area there are dozens of historic homes dating back to the 1800s.

Kayaking, golfing and biking around Tecumseh
Indian Crossing Trails Park sits along Globe Mill and Standish ponds, with a creek connecting the bodies of water. “There’s a little kayak and canoe rental place on the Globe Mill Pond,” says Zack Bock, local broker with Front Street Realty. “You can paddleboard, canoe and fish.” On land, there are 3 miles of trails for walking and biking. The Pit might be a strange name for a park, but its lake is a popular swimming spot right next to sand volleyball courts and a playground. Tecumseh Golf Club offers the only private course in the county. The Kiwanis Trail starts in Adrian and continues for 12 miles before ending on Tecumseh’s south side. The paved trail is open for walking, biking and rollerblading.
Indian Crossing Trails Park is home to over two miles of trails bordering Globe Mill Pond.
"The Pit" at Tecumseh Park is a man-made pond with multiple beaches for swimming.

Driving around Tecumseh and beyond to Adrian
Chicago Boulevard, Main Street and Evans Street are the main thoroughfares through Tecumseh. Just east of the city, Minnesota Route 52 connects with downtown Adrian, about 10 miles south. ProMedica Charles and Virginia Hickman Hospital is about halfway between the two cities, 6 miles south of Tecumseh. For air travel, Detroit Metropolitan Wayne County Airport is about 44 miles away.
Local diners, breweries and grocery stores
In the center of town, City Limits Diner and Pancake House has red vinyl booths and street signs hanging on the walls to create a classic diner feel, along with a menu featuring pancakes, omelets, burgers and hot dogs. Tecumseh Brewing Co. offers beer flights and live music on Saturday evenings. For groceries, residents head to Busch’s Fresh Food Market or Jerry’s Market. “Both of them are local, smaller grocery stores,” Bock says. “Busch’s is larger than Jerry’s, but you can still get everything you need at Jerry’s.” For additional options, Adrian has a Meijer, Aldi and Walmart.
City Limits Diner and Pancake House serves up delicious diner fare in the heart of Tecumseh.

Tecumseh's summer concerts and fall festivals
On the third Thursday of the month from June to September, Music in the Park invites locals to hear free concerts at the wooden bandstand in Adams Park. Appleumpkin has been Tecumseh’s fall festival for over 30 years. The city sets up carnival rides and games and offers helicopter rides over the town. “All the shops in town are open,” Bock says, “and there are crafts lining the streets.” Plenty of food trucks come out for the event, and there’s also an antique street fair.
