I had searched on the internet and found a historical house tour and we set out with high expectations but were having trouble coordinating the walk with checking the map. So we just kind of took off and went up and down the streets going "Oooo" and "Look at that one!" for a while until we'd done 3 miles and we decided we needed to eat. There was this really good place called Jeannie's Diner on W Chicago St. It was scrumptious and had the old style counter with the seats that twirl around and what looked like original booths made out of wood.
After that we tried the map again and finished up the last two miles.
The houses were huge, impressive and had a good representation from just about every style of architecture in the last 150 years. There are neighborhoods that look really good with lots of renovated houses and some that are pretty shabby. The Tibbits Opera House is being renovated and needs help
Then we headed up to Calhoun County and 
walked around the neighborhoods in Marshall which had houses as grand and beautiful as those in Coldwater. We shopped a little bit downtown, they have lots of touristy shops. We walked past the Honolulu House which was built by Abner Pratt who was chief justice of the Michigan Supreme Court and United States Council to Hawaii. So we got 2 miles in there and I walked another 2.5 miles along Battle Creek Linear Park which is a really cool trail that goes along the river. Unfortunately it started raining while I was walking so I cut it short and finished up the 5 miles at the Firekeepers Casino walking around the perimeter of the place. That's one thing to do when you're bored at the casino--power walk!
