Muskegon, MI

I first heard about Muskegon from Mary, a lady that lived in our neighborhood in Texas.  She in turn introduced us to her hometown friends Truman & Iva that winter in Texas and to Andy & Becky and daughters who came to spend Spring break with her a few years.  So when I decided to explore Michigan more, I knew Muskegon was a stop I would make.

Today dawned beautiful and bright as we drove from Traverse City to Luddington.  

In Luddington, we toured the White Pine Village; a town built to replicate a lumber town of the early 1900's.  Since my grandpa did some work with a logging company, I wanted to see this.  We had some very informative volunteers that talked about several of the displays in the buildings.  

Of course there was a barn to photograph.  :)

The buildings were originals relocated to this site.  Not only did they have lumber museum, there was a museum of music and clocks

Below is an old portable EKG machine in the "doctor's office."

A chapel in the "village."

It was an enjoyable walk around the exhibits.  Then we went to Muskegon and spent the afternoon and evening with Mary, Al (her friend), Truman & Iva.  Tomorrow, more festivities as we celebrate Fourth of July!
