The historic village of Fallasburg, Michigan was settled in 1837 by two brothers from New York, John and Silas Fallas. By 1850, it was a prosperous town with over 100 inhabitants. At one time, it offered a hotel and an inn that served as a regular stop on the stagecoach route between Grand Rapids and Ionia. There was a sawmill, a grist mill, and other stores and shops. Today's village includes 42 acres along the banks of the Flat River; a covered bridge; one-room schoolhouse; the Fallas House and Misner House museums; the Orlin Douglass/Tower Farm; and a village cemetery.
