The historic town of Nahma started as a company sawmill town. It sits along Lake Michigan a few miles from US-2. The town of Nahma was established in 1881 by the Bay De Noquet Lumber Company. They built a railroad to haul logs to the sawmill. In 1912, The Nahma and Northern Railway purchased Locomotive #5. The tracks are gone but the old locomotive sits in a park in town. If you have kids that like trains, or a big kid like me that likes trains it is a nice little side trip from US-2 to see this old locomotive.
I have a story about the town of Nahma in my latest volume of Lost In Michigan HERE.
