From an 1851 Sawmill Settlement to Red Flannel Fame
John and Lydia Smith settled Cedar Springs in 1851 and built a sawmill and inn; the lumber town grew from 1856 and later became known for red flannel underwear, with the first Red Flannel Festival held in November 1939, decades before its 1959 city incorporation.
Exterior Materials Spanning More Than a Century
Cedar Springs' long growth from an 1850s lumber settlement to a 1959 incorporated city left its housing stock with exterior materials and trim styles from several distinct eras, so matching new siding to a home's actual construction period carries real weight here.
