We made an appointment and were prepared to still wait and even go up separately. Not only did they get us in immediately (even though we were 10 minutes early), but we were able to go up together and received THE BEST SERVICE WE'VE EVER RECEIVED AT THE SOS IN OUR LIVES! Carrie is fast, professional, and personable! If we could request her for future transactions, we would NEVER go to anyone or any other location again! Thank you, Carrie! You are certainly exceptional! :-)

Located at the secondary complex, 7064 Crowner Dr. in Lansing, a gentleman named Mr. Marco was my assistant. He went above and beyond to help me resolve a matter. For once, someone at the Secretary of State office showed intelligence, empathy, and compassion toward customers. He was patient, didn't get irritated, and listened to my explanation. He considered my reasoning, found a solution, and resolved the matter simply because he wasn't afraid to do his job. He wanted to help, and he's definitely the type of employee who deserves recognition for outstanding service. If only the Secretary of State had more dedicated employees like Mr. Marco, the office would be a much more pleasant place for business. Thanks again, Marco.

I can't believe my sister has lived in Okemos for so long and never took me here before. If you want a glimpse as to what 19th century life was like in the Lansing area, then you need to come here and explore. It's open for tours by appointment only on Saturdays, but you can walk the grounds any day of the week. Here is a sampling of what you'll find: A Greek Revival-style farmhouse built between 1862-5. They know this because as historians were removing wallpaper they discovered newspapers that were used as insulation dated from those years. The farmhouse was relocated here from Marsh Road. Randall School, a one-room rural schoolhouse relocated from near Fowlerville. It cost $853.15 to build in 1883 and served 1st-8th graders. The Barnes House (1849), was the first frame house built in Okemos not using logs. The general store, and the log cabin from Haslett are both cool as well. My favorite thing to see though was the Tollgate House and the parts of the original wood planks from the toll road which travelers from Detroit took to get to the State Capitol in Lansing. A penny to cross is pretty damn cheap compared to the toll roads we drive these days! If you are in the area this is a great piece of Michigan history you don't want to pass by.

Abbey Dodge was one of the first women to graduate from college in the USA. The home has lovely furnishings but not much description, even though I got a brochure on it, some displays had no info.There are two old sewing machines upstairs. The plaques on them say who donated them but not what year they were or anything. I just can't abide by that piece of missing history People need timelines. Also, again, no postcards. Your business needs to sell postcards. Make revenue to help restore the home. Anyway, I did enjoy walking through the home. Upstairs is a 1860s organ. When it was found in a barn damaged, they found a cannonball in it from the civil war. The organ was completely restored and is upstairs in the game room at the Turner Dodge House. A nice quick visit, enjoy...
