Henderson Castle is located at 100 Monroe St in Kalamazoo.
If you’ve ever spent time in the area, you might have heard ghostly tales about Henderson Castle and its storied past. After all, the property is rich with history and lore.
The castle itself was completed in 1895 by local businessman Frank Henderson. Following a grand housewarming party at the estate, Frank died just four years later.
Over the years, ownership has shifted. Today, the castle serves as a bed and breakfast, eatery, and event venue - as well as a point of interest for paranormal enthusiasts.
The mansion features a Queen Anne style and offers a variety of intricately designed guest suites and rooms. Despite its beauty, you might just feel a sense of eeriness here.
Guests have reported seeing apparitions of Frank Henderson himself wandering the grounds, along with a mysterious little girl, a ghostly war veteran, and the spirit of Henderson’s wife.
Other guests and employees have experienced unexplained noises and spotted figures in Victorian-era clothing. There’s no telling what you’ll encounter during your overnight stay.
Whether you believe in ghosts or simply want to immerse yourself in a piece of Michigan history, plan a visit to Henderson Castle. No matter what you seek, you’ll be enchanted.
