Garage sales will be open from 9am to 4pm, rain or shine. A little bit of everything will be for sale: baby items, furniture, clothes and more. A map of all registered garage sales will be available at City Hall on the 18th and 19th.

If you are interested in holding a garage sale this weekend, you will need to purchase a garage sale permit. These are available at the City Clerk’s office for $5 each. Feel free to drop off all leftover garage sale items on Sunday at City Hall, where St. Vincent de Paul trucks will be collecting donations.

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.
