Bayfield has a unique advantage in Huron County in that it has retained a village culture that has been described as New England in its style. It is a small historic village on the shore of Lake Huron, combining old fashioned charm with modern amenities. Since the advent of the railroad, which bypassed Bayfield, the village has settled from a busy grain port into a quaint, welcoming lakeside community, vibrant, active and alive with community spirit. Bayfield is a lovely place to visit and for those most fortunate, a wonderful place to live.
