The Michigan Bean Elevator in Henderson

Posted on April 6, 2016 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Grain Elevators .

I like this old Michigan Bean Elevator in Henderson. I especially like the old “Ghost Mural” of the Jack Rabbit Beans Logo, that’s probably because I am from Saginaw.

A few miles north of Owosso a post office with the name of Hazel Green was opened on May 14, 1868. Later in 1876 the village was renamed to Henderson and named after John Henderson who built and operated a store there in 1868.

The Old Farmhouse In The Snow

Posted on April 5, 2016 by Mike Sonnenberg Posted in Forgotten Places, Houses .

I came across this old farmhouse in Presque Isle County standing silently in the snow drifted field. I wonder what it must have been like years ago to farm in northern Michigan being several miles from a large city. During the winter back in the days before four wheel drive trucks and snowmobiles a family must have depended on their house to survive the harsh Michigan winter. and while we are talking about the family that lived there, I bet they took their crops to this mill

Aquinas College in Grand Rapids had its beginning in 1887 as the Novitiate Normal School of the Dominican Sisters of Marywood. In 1922 it became Marywood College. When the college was moved downtown in 1931, it became the coeducational Catholic Junior College. It began operating as a four-year college in 1940 and was named in honor of the great medieval theologian and philosopher, St. Thomas Aquinas. Aquinas is primarily a liberal arts college. It was moved to its current campus, the former Lowe estate, in 1945. The campus is also home to Holmdene Hall which is rumored to be haunted, you can read about it HERE
