Located on the shores of Lake Michigan, next to Silver Beach, Curious Kids’ Museum (CKM) and the new Curious Kids’ Discovery Zone (DZ) invites you to come play, learn and be curious!

CKM was founded by educators and parents to provide an environment that invites curiosity, allows exploration, celebrates childhood and inspires learning!

Opened in 1989, the Museum on the Bluff has fulfilled the founders’ mission to provide a place where “Learning is Fun” through interactive, hands-on exhibits. In 2010, the Curious Kids’ Museum had the opportunity to expand and open a second location in partnership with the Silver Beach Carousel and Shadowland Ballroom, by opening DZ below the bluff.

With a shared mission and philosophy, both museums are places where children and their adults can pursue their natural curiosity through creative, hands-on play!

Night Club in downtown St. Joseph, MI.

Our story began thousands of years ago – when glaciers deposited their cargo of stones, rocks, minerals, clay, sand and gravel creating a hilly moraine in Baroda, Michigan.  In 2009, we began our portion of the story when we purchased 44 acres of land. We began our vineyard with 4 acres of Chardonnay and Pinot Noir, and have continued planting new vines each year.  Once home to vineyards of concord grapes, the soils are ideal and the climate conditions are similar to Burgundy, creating a perfect growing area for our viniferous vines.  Our location is atop one of the highest points in Baroda, and the moderating influence of Lake Michigan protects from frosts and promotes a long growing season.  

Come play tennis in a familiar and ideal location. Choose one of eight tennis courts or play by yourself against "the wall", or round up your friends for a friendly game of softball.

Free Run Cellars was designed as a haven for wine experts and novices alike. Lush vineyards beckon those drawn to nature’s allure, while an intimate setting invites guests into an atmosphere designed for indulgence. Here our winemaker Brian Carlson, culinary director Ryan Thornburg and CEO Matt Moersch have “free run” to create the food and wine pairings that pique the palate and inspire the senses.

But Free Run doesn’t just represent their veritable playground. It is also the term for the first juice to come from grapes before they are pressed. It’s the deliciousness that flows as the grape skins burst from the pressure of their own weight on top of each other. As you can imagine, free-run juice is limited and considered to be the best of the best—and that’s exactly why it’s the namesake of this unique spot in Southwest Michigan wine country.

At Free Run, we are proud to offer small-batch wines and seasonal fare you won’t find anywhere else. We are firm believers in quality over quantity, from the wines to the intimate setting in which they are served. One taste and we know you’ll become a believer too.

Freedom Boat Club was first founded in 1989 in Sarasota, FL. It is the oldest and largest boat club in the nation.

In 2001, the Berrien County Parks Commission acquired 86 acres in New Buffalo Township to establish the Galien River County Park. This undeveloped property included a mix of upland and wetland habitats along the Galien River. The wetland area is particularly significant in that it is a part of the larger "New Buffalo Marsh," a Great Lakes marsh that formed along the Galien River just upstream from the river's mouth at Lake Michigan.

With the generous assistance of the Pokagon Fund and the Michigan Natural Resources Trust Fund, Phase 1 improvements were completed in 2014 and the park is now open to the public. Highlights of these improvements include a 300' Canopy Walkway that leads to a 60' high Marsh Overlook Tower and a 600' long Marsh Boardwalk that leads to River Viewing and Fishing Platform. Both of these major features are accessible via hard surfaced, barrier free hiking trails. Galien River County Park is a great location for casual hiking with frequent stops to enjoy the views! (Try and early morning or evening for the best wildlife viewing opportunities.)

Journeyman Distillery produces handcrafted, organic spirits in the historic EK Warren Featherone factory located  in Three Oaks, MI. Our products are certified organic, kosher and made with locally sourced grains.  

Warren, a staunch prohibitionist, founded the historic building in 1883 as a buggy whip and corset factory. He revolutionized the manufacturing process of corsets with the use of the softer feather bone, over the stiffer whalebone in the late 19th century. EK Warren’s success reached worldwide attention putting Three Oaks, Michigan on the map.

We invite you to explore throughout the historic building and take a look through our gallery windows which let you view the distillation process as it happens.The original maple factory floors are still in place from the 1800s. We’re using wood from the owner’s family barn in central Indiana; wood that was once the flooring for an early 1900s schoolhouse. We have an original concrete bar made in Grand Rapids, with coordinates etched into the side—to mark this historic and unique location.

Everything about Journeyman Distillery is handcrafted. We offer artisan spirits with a focus on whiskey. While whiskey is what we originally fell in love with, we also offer a variety of quality organic spirits such as vodka, gin, and rum. We distill, bottle, label, and package each spirit here at the distillery.

The Lake Effect Jazz Big Band was created in 2000 by Tom Weidle, a Herald-Palladium reporter, and Vito Tenerelli, a St. Joseph band instructor, who both wanted to create an "artistic" jazz ensemble, one that would read only the most state-of-the-art arrangements, and perform strictly as a "concert" jazz ensemble.  Tom (since departed for sunny California) and Vito, our first music director, brought the dream to fruition in January 2001 recruiting 20 of the area's finest jazz musicians to play within its ranks.

The heart and soul of the Lake Effect Jazz Big Band are music educators from Southwest Michigan. The essence of Jazz is positive self-expression and without educators like those in the band, this American art form is in danger of fading.

These stories have been spun over our past 50 years as a beacon on the Southwest Michigan wine trail. We’ve built a legacy by serving wines cultivated from the hands that planted the grapes, fare created from ingredients grown under Michigan soil and sun, and people that prefer a hug over a handshake.

We’re proud of our past, but take each new day as an opportunity to change the course of our future—and yours. We’ve started with a fresh new look that offers a modern vibe while still paying homage to our roots. You’re invited to come experience the fruit of our vines among awe-inspiring views, and with people who make you smile.

The GhostLight Theatre is a new theatre performance venue in the Benton Harbor Arts District that seeks to illuminate the arts and culture of the area. We will create events where children and adults are more than observers, and become active participants in creation and exploration of a variety of performance media.
 
The brainchild of tenor Paul Mow, The GhostLight Theatre is a collaboration of local performing artists, business people, arts supporters, and enthusiastic audience members. For years, Paul had his dream of a community-based theater and, when he partnered with Martha Hesse, the dream took form. In January 2018, we leased a building in the Benton Harbor Arts District, and began plans for creating a “black box” style theater, backstage and workshop areas, two offices and a beautiful front lobby.

We are a non-profit museum that offers free public programming about twice a month. Our exhibitions are always free, and we can offer archival research assistance to those digging into local history! We are also a rental venue for your special events!

Inspiring Creativity, One Sign at a Time!

Our story begins in 2015 with a great love of DIY and all things painted! My mom and I set out on our creative journey by finding and flipping old furniture and decor and selling our painted pieces at vintage markets around Michigan. We often roped my sister in joining us on our travels, and it truly became a fun, family affair! 

One of our favorite things to do is paint and distress wood signs, and the more signs I made the more requests I received from friends and family to make custom signs. Being a teacher at heart (an elementary teacher, to be exact), my first instinct has always been to show others the joy of making something themselves and find their inner creativity! In the fall of 2015, I began doing in-home sign painting parties for friends and after a few months, I had gained interest from local wineries and businesses. I was astonished at how many people were interested in this little side hustle of mine!   

By March of 2016, I had booked so many parties that I couldn’t keep up! I decided it was time to pursue this passion full-time and I left my teaching position to grow The Turquoise Top Hat. As we continued to expand and meet so many amazing people, we decided it was time to open our own painting space. In June of 2017, we opened our Stevensville workshop and boutique and have had so much fun making this space our own! You can find us there teaching workshops, creating colorful things and enjoying the company of our customers (right near the shores of Lake Michigan)! 

Our business has grown exponentially with the help of all of the amazing clients, customers, friends, and family who trust our creative process and endeavors, and we couldn’t be more thankful for each and every one of you! We are a small, family-run business, and your love and support mean more to us than any amount of money ever could. 

Thanks for helping us live our small-business dreams!
