The Bailey farmhouse was constructed by Liberty Hyde Bailey, Sr., from 1853 to 1856. On March 15, 1858, Liberty Hyde Bailey, Jr. was born in the small frame house on what many settlers then considered the “frontier” of western Michigan, outside the village of South Haven. The home, dedicated to the City of South Haven in 1938, continues as a National Historic Site, garden, park, and educational outreach center.
