Historic Homes

We are proud to partner with the Livingston County Historical Society in support of three of Pontiac's oldest and most historically and socially relevant homes. Take a step back in time as you explore these restored residences.

Livingston County Courthouse

Explore our refurbished 1875 courthouse which also houses a local history exhibit.

Looking for Lincoln

Abraham Lincoln, perhaps one of the most well known and certainly one of the most beloved American presidents, has many ties to Pontiac. Learn more about him and life in the 1800's at our nine Looking for Lincoln storyboard exhibits.

Military Memorials

While at the historic courthouse, stop and see memorials honoring those from Livingston County who served in every major conflict since the Civil War. The memorials are located on the courthouse lawn.

Murals on Main Street

Pontiac currently has over 20 outdoor murals which depict its local commercial, cultural, and political history. See them all by following the red footprints.

Outdoor Fun

While visiting Pontiac, we hope that you will take advantage of the outdoor activities we offer.

Pontiac's Art Cars

In the downtown Pontiac shopping district, you will find 15 miniature cars that have been decorated in a variety of styles by our local artists and art groups.

Pontiac Charm Trail

Perhaps one of the most unique mementos of any trip, the Charm Trail is composed of retailers throughout Pontiac offering one-of-a-kind charms to commemorate your trip.

Pontiac's Swinging Bridges
