Many people, some well-known, most not so famous, have visited Saugatuck since it was first established in 1830. They have been drawn by the arty, the lake, the climate, the easy transportation, or family members already in town.

Stanley Jones, architect Thomas Eddy Tallmadge, a variety of prohibition era Chicago gangsters, actress Carrie Snodgrass, brewer Frederick Pabst, Simon Pokagon, rock musicians Alice Cooper, Kevin Cronin and Jim Peterik.
