After completing a summer photography course in conjunction with the Downtown Development Authority and the Flat Rock, Our Hometown organization, our local, amateur photographers put their skills to the test by capturing colorful and artistic photos at various locations in HuRoc Park.

Photos were initially displayed at the “Cruzin’ Flat Rock” Car Show where attendees were asked to vote for their favorite photos by making a donation to support the Flat Rock Animal Shelter. The winning photos are now going to be proudly displayed on a rotating basis at local businesses in Flat Rock.

 

The first two businesses to host the local photography artists are:

Salute Special Events, 26123 E. Huron River Drive, Tuesday – Saturday, 3:00p.m.-close

Simpler Times, 26314 E. Huron River Drive, Monday – Sunday, 7:00a.m.-10:00p.m.

Please visit during business hours to view the photos and feel free to donate to continuing supporting the Flat Rock Animal Shelter and the good work they do!

If you are a local business and would like to host the local art, please contact us by clicking here.

WELCOME TO FLAT ROCK

The first Euro-American settlers in Flat Rock were Michael Vreeland and his five grown sons between 1811 and 1820. Michael had been captured by British Rangers during the Revolutionary War and released after American independence.

The family purchased 800 acres (3.2 km2). The town was called the Village of Vreeland until 1838 when the Vreeland family sold off the majority of the land and relinquished control of the area. The Vreeland families built the first grain and lumber mill, having brought the grinding stones from New York.

Descendants of Michael Vreeland still live in the town and attend Flat Rock public schools, being the seventh generation to reside in the town their family founded.
