Ionia’s Blanchard House & Museum

This fine example of Italianate styling has remained structurally unchanged since 1880. The Blanchard House is veneered with pink variegated Ionia sandstone. One will appreciate the lovely full acre lot on which it stands, with a picturesque running creek on the west. It deserves its affectionate Spanish name “La Palistina” - Little Palace. The Blanchard House is beautifully decorated in period furnishings that have been donated by residents of Ionia County. The basement houses historical exhibits representing the unique and interesting history of our community. It is also available for special group meetings, weddings and tours.

251 East Main Street, Ionia, MI 48846
The Blanchard House is open to the public the first Sunday each month from 1 to 4pm.
