I was roaming around Battle Creek and I came across this historic fire House. Carved in the stone at the top is No.2 Fire Station 1903. It is a beautiful looking building and still used today. Trying to find a little info about the building I came across this postcard from 1909. It is always
On a foggy winter day, I saw this old schoolhouse near the shores of White Lake north of Muskegon. The unique-looking belfry is what caught my attention. Most of the one-room schools I have seen in Michigan have a simple square belfry. The historical marker in front of it gave a little history of this
There are several lighthouses in Michigan, about 150 of them if you really wanna know, and the Livingston memorial light is one of the most unique, not only in Michigan but in the United States. It’s one of only 3 lights erected as a memorial in Michigan and the only navigational light constructed of marble
I saw this old brick farmhouse in the small town of Boyne Falls. I don’t know its story or history but I drive past it often and always wonder about it. Unfortunately not much of a story for this post, but thank you all for taking the time to look at my posts. P.S. I

This faded and peeling yellow caboose sits quietly next to the historic water tower in Gant. I was told the caboose is where the conductor rode along with the brakeman. Modern technology made the brakeman’s job obsolete and the caboose was no longer needed. That is why you see so many cabooses ( or is
This magnificent looking building stands in Adrian in Lenawee County in the southeast corner of the state. It was built in 1884 replacing the courthouse that burned down in 1852. It still serves the citizens of Lenawee County and is one of Michigan’s most impressive late 19th century courthouses. Thank you for Subscribing to Lost
It is the start of a new year full of hope and new promises. I have been traveling around Michigan for almost eight years and I still have a long list of places to visit and explore. Thank you all so much for following my journeys around the Great Lake State. I am not sure
This year started out with great expectations. I had all sorts of plans for visiting new places but that all came to an end. I am sure I don’t have to tell you why. I have been lucky this year that my family is healthy and working. I know some have not been so fortunate.
