Underhill Store
Isaac M. Dimond purchased four thousand acres of land here in 1837. In 1850 he built a dam on the Grand River to furnish power for a sawmill and gristmill, platting the village of Dimondale in 1856. This building was constructed that year and is the oldest store in town. Owned at first by Myron Crofts, it was purchased in 1883 by Elias Underhill and taken over by his son Rufus in 1900. Vacant since the 1920s, the store was purchased for restoration in 1972.
