The Neighborhood:

The Village of Grand Traverse Commons, located one mile from downtown Traverse City, is formally known as The Traverse City State Hospital. In operation from 1885-1989, it was the third psychiatric hospital in Michigan. With its vast grounds of 135 acres of fruit trees, gardens, and farming livestock, all of which kept the institution fully self-sufficient. As of 2002, the Village of Grand Traverse Commons was established, reinventing and restoring the former hospital into a thriving hub for housing, gourmet restaurants, and boutique shops. With the properties scenic, vast landscape, hiking trails, and beautifully restored buildings preserving history, Kirkbride Hall is known for hosting events including weddings and receptions, concerts, fundraisers, along with hosting many community events throughout the year.
