Main Street, Paw Paw, Michigan, 1906, (note electric utility and telephone poles).
Paw Paw is the County Seat of Van Buren County. This beautiful region is often referred to as
"Michigan's Fruit Basket", and is replete with roadside produce stands in the summer and fall.
Grapes have been grown in this area since the 1860s. Paw Paw is home to the oldest winery
in Michigan-- the St. Julian Wine Company. The Meconi family from Italy started making wine
in the "new world" in 1921, and established the company in 1936. St. Julian's is one of the 40
largest wineries in the United States.
