Very friendly staff and very knowledgeable about the people who lived in the area back in the 1800s. Place is open to the public to visit freely and tours are also free, they take donations to help maintain the place to preserve the last bit of history in this city.You do not need to be part of the seventh day adventist church or be religious to visit, but you will need good shoes for the walking around the compound.

It was a great place that taught me more about Ellen G. White than I ever knew this place is great

The rich Adventist history that is stored here must be experienced first hand by every Seventh-day Adventist! And the director! He was a perfect mixture of wit and wisdom! I had a fantastic experience!

Although we are not Seventh-Day Adventists, me and the fam really enjoyed learning about the Whites and how they founded the Seventh-Day Adventist religion. Tours embark at 10a.m., 12:30p.m., and 3p.m., so make sure you preregister a day in advance and show up a few minutes early. Sabbath tours on Saturdays are at 2p.m. and generally last an hour and a half to 2 hours. On the tour, your guide (who is fully clothed in 19th Century apparel) will lead you through 10 buildings important to the Seventh-Day Adventists and tell stories of famous pioneers of the religion. So if you love learning about different religions, old villages, or even just history, the Adventist Village is more than worth attending. And the best part - its FREE!

It was really interesting and informative. It is amazing what the early pioneers went through! I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the Seventh-Day Adventist Church.

It’s a nice collection of historical buildings. It’d have to be part of a larger tour experience to justify coming here from afar though.

Everythings well kept and the staff is very friendly and funny.

This is a historical landmark village thats a must visit for all. There is a lot that happened here which has had a great impact in the advancement of the Gospel, education, healthcare, medicine, food and many other areas. God has truly worked in this place and used those pioneers to spread the gospel and develop technology that was ahead of their time. God bless all the employees of the Historic Adventist Village for their continued efforts in the upkeep of this treasured village.

Its a great place to go and learn about the champions of the Seventh Day Adventist church.

It was nice to see how people lived back in the days.

This was a very interesting place to visit. The tour guide was very knowledgeable, and the tour included a lot of information about black Seventh-day Adventist pioneers. A place you definitely must see, and the best part is - its free!

It was wonderful to know and see our history

I saw Ellen G. White House and churches too. What a great place

Awesome place to learn about the Adventist church

Must come! Specially if youre an adventist. Lots of history in each building.

Very informative and interesting Adventist and Kellogg history from this small town.

Who knew Battle Creek was so interesting. Learned so much. Must go back.

Really interesting little museum dedicated to the Kellogg sanitarium (of Wellville fame. Not only do they have items from the times, but you can try them out. An example is the foot vibrator. Mmmmmmmm!Our guide was a volunteer intern from PR. She didnt always use the right terms which was misleading at times, and fed us her slightly modern attitude (judgement) about some activities/practices she discussed. Some of the informational signs were not accurate either (using modifiers of most, often).But! It was reallllly interesting! Do glad we went!!

Liked it a lot. Learned a ton, it was weird, fun, interactive and the staff was amazing. I did not do the tour but I would go back.

Truly international love and harmony

Oh, how beautiful, you are maintaining the history of the SDA Early church, the sights, and the buildings were all inspiring. I really enjoyed this experience. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the history of Ellen White.. singing in the old church..you could feel the presence of the Holy Spirit . Will visit again.

Our tour guide was awesome! He knew his history and had a great sense of humor. And it only takes a donation to get in.

Is so nice to hear and see memories of Ellen G White s work and faithfully she was connected to God

I loved the entire experience and I learned a ton about my faith!

Love this place!! Learning more about Seventh Day Adventist history is always great the people there are wonderful!!

This is a great place to learn the inspiring stories of people with great vision. From a handful of believers, this group numbers now over 20 million members worldwide. The tour begins at the museum celebrating the achievements of Dr. John Harvey Kellogg.

Stayed in the guest accommodation whilst visiting this Adventist Village, and doing renovations on it. The rooms werent in the best condition, and were infested with bugs and insects of all kinds, which wasnt great to sleep in. The actual historical part of the village is quite interesting, and you are educated a lot about the history of the Adventist church. Another downside is that the village is located in a risky neighbourhood, so we were constantly fearing for our safety. An average experience at best.

It was a great privilege to see and know how God directed the Adventist pioneers in proclaiming his message to the people. I loved this place.

Fantastic and amazing story of the Adventist pioneers who started young but never doubted the truth of the Gospel. Here we are today because of their faith and bravery.

A great place to enjoy the history of Battle Creek and some of the people who lived in and made Battle Creek what it is today.

Not super historic but it is still being maintained and used today. The neighborhood is not very nice.

The tour was amazing. It was pretty awesome to actually go into the places the pioneers lived or visited

Wonderfull experience on our history

Always an awesome time volunteering and giving tours . definitely a must if in battle creek

Visited there in 2014. It was a great experience and very inspiring. Want to visit there again.

Very interesting, with numerous historical buildings and a fascinating museum. Free, even a guided tour. Tour guide spoke a bit too rapidly to understand all that was said, but great information.

If you are interested in the 7th day adventist history go to Battle Creek and see this place. You will be transferred in the late 19th century and people there will give many great info.

Richard explained so cool and professionally, that I couldnt stop listening...

3 hour tour. We very much enjoyed the history. And it was free. Wish I knew about making plans for the federal building which used to be the sanitarium. U need to let them know two weeks in advance for that.

What a wonderful place to learn more about the history of our SDA church. Both visits we have had wonderful and fun tour guides who tell great stories throughout the tour. Thank you to all who contribute financially or through work to make this village possible for all of us.

We went on the tour just for something to do one bored afternoon. Its a 2 part tour and while I am not an adventist, I did find it interesting. The part about Mr Kellogg was pretty interesting, was not aware he was an inventor of things other than cereal. Our tour guide, Eric, was very informative and also had a pleasant sense of humor.

Great museum about Dr. Kellogg and really incredible historical buildings to go in. I am not a member of their church and I still really enjoyed and recommend visiting to anyone who enjoys history or learning about religion. I grew up in Battle Creek and it was a lot of fun learning about the town I grew up in. Everyone that we met were very friendly and we also had a private tour of the buildings and the museum, not sure if that is typical. The tour also wasnt preachy about their faith, I never felt uncomfortable or that I was being preached to. They have a very reasonably priced gift shop filled with books, videos and a few coffee mugs, shirts, etc.

Beautiful and interesting site. Guides are knowledgeable and stories rather inspiring.

Walk through the past.... As you walk through the area youll be seeing buildings that are over 100 years old and keep to the lifestyles of the times

I was there in 2009 and had an awesome time, staff is very knowledgeable and friendly, the place is very well kept and preserved despite its age. It’s hard to highlight just one place, the entire village is inspiring, filled with history and important moments that shaped entire generations perhaps the whole world.Can’t wait to go back.

The village is a beautiful place. When the tour guide gives you a tour, their brilliant descriptions get your imagination running, and you feel like you are actually watching the events happen!The tours also make the Adventist message more personal. Every tour guide has made the stories into their own, giving you a different experience each time which means the stories never gets old.God is truly present at the Historic Adventist Village.

This was an amazing place to visit. Very kind and dedicated staff, very impressive historical artefacts and information. Great tour of the different historical homes with knowledgeable tour guide. Highly recommended!

Very friendly and educational we were just passing by

Fantastic tour, very interesting historically and a wonderful refresher of church history.

This is a wonderful place to see a piece of history. My family and I experienced and touched some historical items from late 19th century. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.

This place is an amazing place to learn about history even if youre not an Adventist. Public schools take field trips here all the time.

Interesting bit of history in Battle Creek. The machines Dr. Kellogg developed for digestive health I find most interesting. If youre in the area its well worth checking out.

It was great to see some Adventist History.

Great historic site with lots of fun space and history to explore.Cool geocaching available also if you do that.Staff are always friendly.

Our tour guide was very personable and knowledgeable. The exhibits were interesting and informative. I certainly would recommend anyone that is interested in Adventist history work this village into their plans.

This is a great place to see how a small group of people can accomplish great things. From a handful of believers, the church is now the fastest growing denomination in the world and has the second educational system worldwide with a great hospital and clinic network presence in many countries.

The place where we can learn on the full Adventist heritage and history

Learned a lot when visited here, not once though. Love how people volunteer here for the work of God.

Many interesting history there

I always wanted to be there and for me being a seven days Adventist member this place means a lot to me

An historical journey of the Seventhday Adventists viewed from memoirs

Great tour by a nice young man. We saw lots of historical structures and objects. Ellen Whites home is most prominent.

A fantastic experience to see and learn about so much Seventh-day Adventist heritage. The museums, buildings, and grounds are well kept. The tour guides are knowledgeable and interesting.

Have been to the village. It is an experience that has the power to change any life. A lot to learn and I look forward to every single visit.

Do you enjoy history; you will love Adventist Village.

Very informative and interesting place. Really enjoyed it.

Awesome place for you to listen to our history as Seventh Day Adventist

Very interesting. I really enjoyed learning about our church history.

Staff is awesome, always happy and read to give a really nice tour. The historic sites are well preserved, and Kellogg museum is also worth to visit

Very interesting place

Very interesting history. Its off the beaten path. Worth a visit.

I really enjoyed spending the Sabbath there this was the first time I visited, I will be going back again.

Amazing experience. All the historic value for Adventist.

There is great history here. Wish I could have spent more time here.
