DOWNTOWN. This piece of Victorian architecture was once the home of Robert Whaley, the former president of Citizens Bank. The house was built in 1859, and the Whaleys bought it in 1885. After the Whaleys' deaths, the house was the McFarlen Home for Elderly Women for the next fifty years. The museum was incorporated in 1975 and now stands as an important and accurate window into Flint's past. This restored house features Victorian furnishings and heirlooms. On the National Register of Historic Places.

HOLLY. Battle Alley is a street in Holly that is only a few blocks long and has much historical value. The original buildings are there, most with apartments on the top floor and shops on ground level. Shop owners are currently working hard to renovate the buildings to imitate what they would have looked like in their heyday. You'll find antique shops, gift shops, the Holly Hotel and an ice cream parlor on this quaint street. Ask questions, for most of the shop owners are very knowledgeable about the Alley's history.
