Visit Marcellus

Founded in 1870

When you visit Marcellus, Michigan, you’re visiting Wildcat Country – home of the Marcellus Wildcats! The quaint community, founded in 1870 and incorporated in 1879, was the last municipality to be formed in Cass County.

Nestled in the northeast quadrant of a rural, agricultural county, Marcellus enjoys easy access to Kalamazoo, Paw Paw, Three Rivers, and northern Indiana, thanks to its proximity to I-94 and US -131.

Business & Recreation

Lying at the crossroads of M-40 and Marcellus Highway, the Village is home to an entrepreneurial spirit made evident by several new and growing cottage businesses. Surrounded by 36 lakes within a six-mile radius, Marcellus offers recreational opportunities year-round.

The jewel in Marcellus’ crown is the Marcellus Community Schools. The school system has been listed three times on the U.S. News and World Report’s list of Best High Schools. Marcellus offers excellent programs in academics, arts, and athletics.
