SOUTH HAVEN – Tickets are on sale for the 29 th annual Cottage Walk to be held Saturday, June 27.
Co-sponsored by SHOUT for South Haven and the Scott Club, the event will feature tours of four unique cottages, concluding with a tour of the historic Scott Club.
“This year’s featured lineup is an eclectic array of residences unique to our community,” said spokesperson Patti Sheppard. “Participants who are longtime residents of South Haven especially will have an opportunity to take a step back in time with a visit to a converted neighborhood school. There will also be an opportunity to experience the accents of a 19 th century-style Italianate villa, visit a uniquely constructed modular home and enjoy the features of a newly built home. Topping it off with a visit to the Michigan Historic Site Scott Club will make for a memorable afternoon.”
The Scott Club building is a stately Queen Anne style structure of sandstone capped by a cupola of carved oak. Two historic windows of Austrian stained glass are featured on the second floor. The recent installation of an elevator in the building has enhanced to tour the building barrier-free.
Event attendees visit the cottages at their leisure from 12-5 p.m. Volunteers at each cottage will provide an historical perspective of the site. Tours of the Scott Club will run from 3:30-5 p.m.
Tickets are $20 person. The advanced purchase of tickets is encouraged as a capacity sale is anticipated. Tickets are on sale during normal business thru June 26 th at the South Haven Chamber of Commerce, 606 Phillips St., and the South Haven Visitors Bureau, 546 Phoenix St. They will also be sold on the morning of the Cottage Walk at the Farmers Market in downtown Dyckman Park.
SHOUT for South Haven in 2025 invited the Scott Club to partner in the Cottage Walk as a means of bringing to the community’s attention two active civic-minded organizations.
“Our continued partnership with the Scott Club is most fitting as both organizations strive to make a great community even greater,” said SHOUT President Robert Copping.“
“Partnering with SHOUT has strengthened our fundraising and is making a positive impact in these times of rising costs,” said Scott Club President Carol Anderson Kunze. “Proceeds from this year’s Cottage Walk will be used in support of our mission to provide arts and cultural programming in our Michigan Historic Site.”
The planning committee for this year’s Cottage Walk is Robert Copping, Carol Anderson Kunze, Anna Krajecki, Patti Sheppard, Renee Kaplan and Tom Renner.
