Glen Haven

Now a museum. Glen Haven was first a logging port, then a fruit canning operation. By my first visit (in 1961) it was entirely devoted to tourists.

DH Day's Glen Haven Store, and outbuildings. Now a museum, and one of the offices for the National Park (Lakeshore).

This used to be M-209--"Michigan's shortest state highway". Sleeping Bear Inn on the right, the Day Store on the left, the Blacksmith Shop beyond the store, and a handful of houses. Even in its prime this was a tiny place.

The Inn, with the Day Store in the distance.

The Glen Haven Canning Company; once a cherry packing firm owned by D.H. Day, now a delightful boating museum on Sleeping Bear Bay. Part of the Sleeping Bear National Lakeshore.

Another view of Monday's dramatic waves. The South Manitou Island Lighthouse is about dead center in this photo....

From Glen Haven. How can you not love a place that looks like this?
