Welcome to Williamston

Williamston

In the days before automobiles, Williamston was a popular place to enjoy a meal and entertainment along the way to Detroit from Lansing. Today, it has evolved into a bonafide destination, offering a diverse array of downtown to-dos with surrounding rural charm. 

There's something for every type of homeowner here. Around downtown, historic homes offer centuries of charm, while numerous subdivisions across town bring together new builds with ample land.  

Savor a farm-to-table meal at a contemporary bistro, enjoy Michigan-made beers at a local brewery, and catch riveting performances at a professional theatre in Downtown Williamston. Immerse yourself in the past by exploring the region's history at a museum or antiquing throughout the town. And, here, getting outside is never out of season: Take a summer Sunday stroll through the farmers' market, view autumn colors along the Red Cedar River, and celebrate the holidays at Williamston’s Light Parade in December.

Rural beauty with downtown excitement.

With a historic downtown district full of beautiful architecture and plenty of eateries, Williamston makes for an ideal place to put down roots or enjoy a cozy weekend getaway.

Hot Spots

Williamston Community Schools strives to make all students college or career-ready so that upon graduation, they enter adulthood as independent, critical thinkers.
Over the years they have hosted many events such as blue grass festivals, rodeos, big time wrestling matches, carnivals, and all the fun things one thinks of when talking about a small-town festival.
