Where Etsy Meets Main Street

Forego the urge to shop big retail online and immerse yourself in a shopping destination that brings “Etsy” to life. Situated on the banks of the Grand River, stroll the tree lined streets of Old Town Lansing where you can lose yourself for hours exploring unique boutiques filled with everything from hand-made treasures at Sweet Custom Jewelry to stylish apparel at Grace (pictured) and tasty gourmet popcorn at Cravings Popcorn. Into music? A visit to nationally renowned Elderly Instruments is a must. Preuss Pets is the perfect destination to take the kids with aisles of colorful tropical fish, exotic birds and reptiles. It’s like a small zoo! Be sure to pop into Old Town General Store for a memorable local souvenir and special events in their hidden courtyard. Art lovers will appreciate the many vibrant murals and galleries. When you’re ready for a break, plenty of award winning restaurants, coffee shops and breweries round out this eclectic, charming community. Treasures await!
