STOP HERE! This was an amazing find in the UP. Kind of out of the way but so very worth it. This old town was perfectly preserved from the late 1800s. Not only was it a cool historic place but the views out to Lake Michigan and the hiking were equally wonderful. It might have helped that it was a perfect summer day.

Interesting out of the way place to visit. You could spend an entire day here exploring and seeing the remnants of a ghost town. They've done a great job of restoring some of the buildings and furnishing them to what they looked like in the town's heyday.
