About the Organization

The City of Adrian, also known as the Maple City, is the county seat of Lenawee County, and is a city of arts and parks, a city of culture, and a city in transition. We have a broad range of year-round activities, including Art-A-Licious, and downtown Adrian’s First Fridays. Throughout Adrian, residents can enjoy more than 17 community parks and open spaces, including an 8-mile paved trail stretching from Adrian toward Tecumseh, and Heritage Park and Trestle Park which feature extensive mountain bike trails and boardwalks along the river.

The City of Adrian is home to an award-winning school district, and a historic downtown Adrian featuring 21st century dining, shopping, and entertainment. Arts and cultural activities are the core of our downtown, anchored by the Croswell Opera House, the longest continually operating opera house east of the Mississippi. Adrian has a thriving Latino community.

Nearby universities and training institutions constitute an extensive employment and educational resource for area businesses, including Adrian College, Siena Heights University, Jackson College, the LISD Tech Center and the Sam Beauford Woodworking Institute.
