    Berrien Springs Old Courthouse, 313 North Cass Street, Berrien Springs, MI 49103

Back in 1901, Andrews University used to be called Emmanuel Missionary College (EMC) and the original campus in Berrien Springs was located at the Berrien County 1839 Courthouse Square, near the Berrien Springs downtown.  The 1839 Courthouse is Michigan's oldest courthouse, and sits on the oldest town square in the Midwest.

If you have never toured the Old Courthouse complex, which is now a county museum and educational facility, there is a special tour at 3pm Saturday afternoon, April 18, where you can see these beautiful old buildings, how Emmanuel Missionary College used them, and stories from 1901 about the early days of Emmanuel Missionary College. 

Meet in front of the courthouse at 313 N Cass Street, Berrien Springs.  The tour is free, as is entry into the museum complex.  Donations to support the restoration of the Courthouse Square are welcome, but not required to attend.
