About Fairgrove

Fairgrove is a quiet village of about 500 residents in the heart of Michigan’s Thumb. Surrounded by wide-open farmland in Tuscola County, the town first took shape in the late 1800s as a railroad stop and trading hub for local growers. Today, it offers a peaceful, rural setting with a relaxed pace of life and deep agricultural roots.
