Things to Do

Welcome to Chelsea! This quaint small town has a lot to offer, including cute cafes and shops. It's home to the Jiffy factory, you can't miss it behind the big ClockTower, where the wedding's being held.


You can enjoy Chelsea's Farmer's Market Saturday morning from 8:00 AM - 1:00 PM at Palmer Commons. 304 S. Main St.


You might want to also check out Serendipity, a local bookstore that just made national headlines when hundreds of residents showed up and formed a human chain, transporting books from their old location to their new one around the corner on Main Street.


Chelsea is also home to Jeff Daniels' Purple Rose Theater.

One of the biggest gems in Metro Detroit is Greenfield Village in Dearborn. It's about a 45 minute drive from Chelsea, but worth it if you're an early riser!


It's a sprawling open-air history museum founded by Henry Ford with artifacts & homes of famous Americans. Experience firsthand the sights, sounds and sensations of America’s fascinating formation, where over 80 acres brim with resourcefulness and ingenuity. Here, 300 years of American perseverance serve as a living reminder that anything is possible. Step foot in the lab where Thomas Edison had his lightbulb moment or the workshop where the Wright brothers taught us to reach for the sky. Take a ride in a real Model T, or a walk through four working farms. Rub shoulders with world-class artisans, and explore the place where America’s can-do spirit inspires you to go out and get it done.
