In our hectic, fast-paced, consumer-driven society, it's common to feel overwhelmed, isolated & alone. Many are re-discovering the healing and empowering role that community can bring to our lives. The sense of belonging we feel when we make the time to take an active role in our communities can give us a deeper sense of meaning & purpose. -- Robert Alan

Welcome to the Village of Vernon Minimize

Vernon is a quaint, peaceful community located on M-71 in Shiawassee County, just off I-69 twenty minutes west of Flint and forty minutes east of Lansing.  The Village was incorporated in 1871 and operates under the General Law Village Act with a seven member council consisting of six trustees and a Village President.  There are approximately 847 residents in the Village.  Vernon is home to Nellie Reed Elementary which is part of the Corunna School district and is one of the best districts in the area.  

The Village offers two large beautiful parks with tennis court, basketball court, sand volleyball courts, baseball diamonds, pavilions, grills, and play-scapes.  The Shiawassee River flows through the northwest Village limits and is one of the best preserved warm-water river systems in the southern Great Lakes region.
