We Had So Much Fun in 2023!
We’ve been busy putting away decorations and putting The Newton to rights after all the really fun holiday events we hosted. We’ve reminisced about and reflected on 2023, and we’re busily planning for 2024. We were so thrilled with the events we made happen with you - the community get-togethers, the special occasions you shared with us, and getting to know our overnight guests! The Newton of Ypsilanti is not only a boutique inn, it is also a lovely event space and community gathering place. In 2023, we hosted family dinners, milestone birthday celebrations, intimate weddings, art exhibitions, card game nights, musical performances, retirement parties, workshops, cooking classes, and holiday parties. Let’s do it all again in 2024!
Ho Ho Host Your Holiday at The Newton!
It is time, people, to plan your holiday events and gatherings. We LOVE the holidays, and we’d love to help make your event special and festive and delicious! Soon, The Newton’s halls will be decked, its fireplaces laid with logs, its kitchen bustling with baking and roasting, its porches twinkling, and a gorgeous tree will be filling the front window. Host your event in one of our beautiful spaces, spend a special weekend here, or give the gift of The Newton to someone you love! We’ve got it all covered!
Ypsilanti Bicentennial Historical Homes Tour: Come Celebrate With Us On August 20!
There are so many incredible things to love about Ypsilanti, and one of our favorites is the incredible architecture, and the abundance of spectacular old homes. Imagine the history and the drama that those homes have seen - so many families, so many lives playing out over hundreds of years! After a pandemic hiatus, the Ypsilanti Heritage Foundation is bringing back its Historical Homes Tour for the 43rd iteration on August 20, 2023.
The March of the Morels (They’re Almost Here!)
No matter our politics, our beliefs, our values, our faith, there is at least one matter on which we can all agree: WE ALL LOVE MUSHROOMS. Right?! No? Many mushroom lovers really love mushrooms, though, and for an even smaller subset of people, the morel mushroom is just about the most exciting food in existence. The emergence of the morel heralds the coming of spring, and many Michigan foragers guard their morel hunting spots closely. Right around now, they’re beginning to check their secret spots for the first signs of the mushrooms, because once the heads are visible, there is a harvest window of only a few days.
