The Douglas Dutchers Base Ball club, established in Southfield, MI, is dedicated to providing historical value to the Douglas and Saugatuck communities through their participation in an 1860 vintage setting. With a focus on promoting historical education and increasing interest in sporting events of that era, the club offers a unique experience that transports patrons back in time.
Beery Field, where the Dutchers play, holds significant historical importance, having hosted sporting events since 1860. The field received a WPA grant in 1935 to rebuild it as a recreational and educational site for the community. The Dutchers' presence benefits the youth, teachers, and elderly alike, providing theatrical and historical value, as well as therapeutic enjoyment for nursing home patients. The club relies on grants, contributions, and fundraising events to sustain its operations.
