It is a little bit of a trip south of the Sleeping Bear Dunes to visit the red white and green lighthouse but it is well worth the trip. Completed in 1858 the Point Betsie Lighthouse, north of Frankfort, is the oldest building in Benzie County. Standing along the shores of Lake Michigan marking the
I saw this old barn north of Coopersville and like many barns I see, I do not know their history. I am sure many barns have an ordinary life of storing hay and giving a home to some horses and sheltering a tractor or two. I figure since I don’t have a story about this
I see a lot of old churches with Michigan historical markers, and this one along the St Clair River in Marine City was exceptional. Father Gabriel Richard received this triangular plot of land by way of a grant from President John Quincy Adams on April 1, 1825. This area, known as Catholic Point, contains, among
In an area filled with fancy vineyards for wine lovers to explore is an old general store a little ways off the main road. Near the tip of the Old Mission Peninsula is the small almost forgotten town of Old Mission. That is where you will find the Old Mission General Store. Many people recognize

When I first saw it, I was not sure if it was a bridge, dam or waterfall, or a little bit of all three. On the Salmon Trout River near the town of Redridge is this massive steel structure. It has water flowing underneath and from its rusty girders, it looks as if it has
When thinking of Memorial Day many people can recall an image from a national cemetery with row and rows of headstones and American flags placed alongside them. I have visited many old rural cemeteries and see some individual tombstones with the Stars and Stripes proudly waving in the breeze. They may not be laid to
It is an awe-inspiring sight to see the row upon row of white headstones of the veterans laid to rest in the National Cemetery in Holly. I highly recommend visiting this beautiful place. It is a good reminder of the price of freedom and the sacrifices made to protect it. Thank you for Subscribing to
On the outskirts of Saginaw in the back of Oakwood Cemetery is the veteran’s section with a Civil War Monument surrounded by tombstones of the veterans that so proudly served in the military. You will notice one marker is cleaner than the rest of the markers. I don’t know who Ross F. Huffman is other
