Our Heritage
Once Known as "The Evergreens"
When Ezra Beardsley built this elaborate Queen Anne mansion in the 1880s, it became the center of social life in Branch County — famous for grand gatherings, horse races on the property track, and an elegance uncommon for rural Michigan.
After decades of dormancy, the estate was lovingly restored and listed on the National Register of Historic Places in 2015. Today, Ancestral Acres continues that legacy — where your love story becomes part of over a century of history.
This venue is simply amazing. The barn provides an elegant background for anything you can imagine, and the property is breathtaking. It was a perfect weekend.
