Old Nation Brewing is the culmination of years of hard work for brewer Travis Fritts. He spent time in Germany honing his craft under the best brewers in the world and returned to the States with master brewing credentials. He wanted to return to the place he grew up to spread his knowledge and love of great beer. And Williamston is the perfect fit. Old Nation's goal is simple. To brew the finest beers possible, while showing respect to the ingredients and heritage of each beer. Home to the popular M-43 N.E. IPA and Boss Tweed Imperial IPA. Both named by Beer Advocate as two of the top-rated beers in Michigan. And don't worry, the food will be taken just as seriously as the beer, because a good pub should be a fusion of incredible beer, food, and people.

Ted Black Woods is filled with beautiful hardwoods, an abundance of spring wildflowers, and a large diversity of songbirds. Access to this park from two different points with small parking lots; one is on Van Atta Road and the other is on Grand River Avenue. The central 62 acres of Ted Black Woods were acquired in 1973. Later, in 1989, an adjacent 9.5-acre parcel was purchased with Park Millage funds to provide a public access point and the paved parking lot on Grand River Avenue. In 2009, an additional .92 acres were added as a donation from the family of former Trustee, Park Commissioner, Environmental Commissioner, and famed bird expert Ted Black. This land, which was where Ted Black and his wife Marijane lived, provided an additional entrance off of Van Atta Road. As part of the donation agreement and as an opportunity to honor Ted Black for his many years of service to the Meridian Township community, what once was known as Van Atta Woods Park was renamed "Ted Black Woods." It has been allowed to progress naturally and you can enjoy this natural beauty from the picnic area or wetland overlook deck at the Van Atta Road entrance or on the many miles of natural trails throughout the park.
