Home of the Bowling Ball Tree: Hulbert, Michigan
Home of the Bowling Ball Tree: Hulbert, Michigan Before we get to the tree, here's some background on Hulbert. The town was founded as a lumber town by Francis Hulbert in 1872 while trying to find a good place to cut timber. Even so, it was the Dewitt family who became the first to settle in the new community. Hulbert received its post office in 1892 and a few years later – in 1896 – Francis Hulbert passed away before he could properly organize the village. His son Richard took over, and was instrumental in getting the town on track. Get our free mobile app
