Flat Rock Flea Market

It’s that time again. Time for the semi-annual Flat Rock Historical Society Flea Market! The flea market is this coming Sunday, May 5th.

The market will be open from 7am to 4pm. It is located at the Flat Rock Speedway, which is one mile south of Flat Rock, on Telegraph Road.

This year there will be about 300 vendors to shop from. Vendors sell everything from antiques, movies, tools, furniture and anything else you can imagine. Don’t forget to check out the famous “deal on the hill.” If you get hungry, you can stop by the concession stand for the perfect flea market hot dog. If you are in the mood for a little something sweeter, check out the Historical Society bake sale, where you can get some of the best sweets made in Flat Rock.

Parking and admission is always free. Parking is directly in front of the Speedway, with handicap spots available. Make sure to arrive early to get a close spot, that way you can easily make trips to drop off your deals.

This is the flea market’s 69th year. Every year the market attracts nearly 10 thousand shoppers. Please remember that no pets are allowed. For more information, call (734) 782-5220.

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.
