The village of Vicksburg, Michigan, is quaint and steeped in history. With approximately 3,000 people, it lies just 15 miles south of Kalamazoo, hugging the shore of aptly named Sunset Lake. The city is named after John Vickers, who settled in the region in 1831. It is a place rooted in tradition yet offering plenty of fun and exciting opportunities for the whole family.
If you enjoy delicious food, from grab-n-go bites to exquisite lakeside dining, you won’t be disappointed. Start your day right at Rise N Dine, which offers up fresh eggs, cinnamon rolls, and even pumpkin pancakes. At Vicker’s Lakeside Tavern, you can sample a wide selection of craft beers and fine food while enjoying incredible views across beautiful Sunset Lake. If you are more in the mood for something quick, grab a cold treat at Apple Knockers Ice Cream Parlor or delicious, tender jerky at Stubby’s Smokehouse. Afterward, grab a refreshing drink at the Village Hideaway or The Distant Whistle Brewhouse.
Though it is small in size, the city has many outdoor opportunities for people of all ages. Whether you want to spend a lazy afternoon in one of its many manicured parks (or delve into a historical tour of downtown, the village will not disappoint. Just outside of town, you can explore the Vicksburg Recreation Area. Whatever activity you choose – walk, jog, bike, or compete in a game of disc golf – you can do it at the “Rec.” Golfers flock to Angel’s Crossing Golf Club, a scenic, challenging course nestled in the trees and meadows. It is a great place to play a round and enjoy a post-golf meal or drink.
This town is a pleasant place to be on a daily basis and has unique events and activities scattered throughout the year. The Vicksburg Old Car Festival draws large crowds who come to see the over 1,000 classic cars on display. Meanwhile, the Historical Society has transformed portions of downtown into the Vicksburg Historical Village, with a vast collection of artifacts and memorabilia.
