Shop Like a Cowboy (Kind of) in Frontier Town, Macomb County

I found this place recently and thought it possibly might have a vague connection to the old Frontier City (NOT Stagecoach Stop) that used to be in the Irish Hills.

It doesn’t.
Frontier Town and Frontier City are miles apart in difference.

Frontier Town is located at 67300 Van Dyke Road in Michigan’s Macomb County town of Washington..... and although there is a slight western look to it, there are no mock gunfight, shootouts, or floozy dance hall girls like the old Frontier City had.

Frontier Town is a shopping strip mall with an old west theme. It opened in 1981 by Maurice Foltz with antiques, food, gifts, a general store, and other shops.

According to a description on Pure Michigan, “Frontier Town is a place where you can step back in time to an era that embraced the simple aspect of life itself. We encourage you to forget the hustle and bustle of our world and enter a place that takes you back to yester-year..... You will find unique, one-of-a-kind items handcrafted by local Michigan artists..... So feed our goats, make a wish in the working water wheel, or sit on the boardwalk and imagine how the old west was won.”

There is also an arts & crafts area, bakery, chocolate shop, consignment shop, furniture, ice cream shop, petting zoo and many made-in-Michigan products in this quaint little outside mall!
