We pay tribute to Dowagiac's rich heritage and respect the contributions of all citizens past and present. Native American Pow-Wows, some open to the public, are held by the Pokagon Band of Potawatomi Indians to preserve their culture and traditions for future generations.

The museum at Southwestern Michigan College takes its visitors on a trip through the early days of Dowagiac.

Recent renovations in the Downtown Business District reflect the strong Victorian influence. These influences are also visible in the architecture of our historic homes.
