Stockport

Van Buren's youngest village just turned one hundred in 1987. Stockport is located in the northeast corner of the county and is known for its flags and beautiful county park.

If you are moved by the sight of American flags flying proudly, Stockport is a destination you will not want to miss. Each year, 285 flags line the town on Memorial Day, Flag Day, Independence Day, and Veterans Day (weather permitting), creating what is known as the “Avenue of Flags.” Additionally, the flags of all U.S. armed service branches are proudly displayed at the local American Legion, which is also home to Van Buren County’s Freedom Rock.

Nearby to the northeast is Morris Park. Remote and quiet, it is a camping retreat for those seeking refuge from the crowding and noise of tourist traps. It also features historic buildings with relics on display as well as a stocked pond.
