- Triskel Tours & Celtic Treasures - 201 S. Michigan Ave., Howell, MI 48843
When Marc and Michelle Harlow opened Triskel Tours & Celtic Treasures in 2017, it was known as Bridget Gallagher's Irish Tours & Treasures. In late 2023, the Harlows rebranded, incorporating the ancient word and symbol of "triskel," which represents the cycle of birth, life, and death. Stop in to their delightful shop and enjoy a cup of coffee or tea while you browse their selection of Irish specialty foods and gift items. If a visit to the Emerald Isle is on your bucket list, ask the Harlows about their wonderful tours. Hours are 10 a.m. - 6 p.m. Tuesday through Friday and 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. Saturday.
