History

Walkerville was founded by the Walker family in the 19th century. At one point, the village had a very busy railway passing through it. Walkerville suffered two major fires, which damaged the infrastructure greatly each time. Walkerville has not yet recovered to its post fire glory days. It currently is a community that helps in the cultivation of produce for which West Michigan is known, such as cherries, apples and asparagus.

In the summer of 2020, Camp Gan Israel of Michigan (based in Kalkaska Township, Michigan) expanded to a campgrounds in Walkerville, marking the first Jewish presence in the village with 100 staff and campers together making that more than a third of the town’s population!

At the climax of the summer, and to celebrate the 70th anniversary of the Rebbe’s leadership, the camp printed 100 copies of the 7482nd edition of the Tanya (an early work of Hasidic philosophy, by Rabbi Shneur Zalman of Liadi, the founder of Chabad Hasidism, first published in 1797) on the grounds in Walkerville, based on a campaign The Lubavitcher Rebbe made in 1977/8 to print a Tanya in Every city.
