The little hamlet of Alamo was settled in 1841 and sits smack dab in the center of Alamo Township, Kalamazoo County. It was created as a post office and railroad station on the Kalamazoo & South Haven (later the Michigan Central) Railroad. Since it was a post office located in the center of the township, the area was dubbed “Alamo Centre P.O.” After a few years the “P.O.” was dropped, and eventually just shortened to “Alamo” by the early 1900s. Most-asked question: was the town & township actually named after THE Alamo in Texas? Answer: yes, it was. The settlers had originally chosen a different name, Bainbridge , but since there was already a Bainbridge in Berrien County, that suggestion was dropped. ....
The Haunted 1850 Catholic Cemetery, Marquette This historic old graveyard has been around ever since 1850, even though no one has been buried there since approximately 1900. In 1861, this little patch of graveyard land, which sits at the corner of Pioneer Road and Division Street, was donated to Reverend Frederic Baraga with the strict specifications that the land was to ONLY be used for free burial ground and for no other purpose .

Some locals were talked into it, while others refused, leaving their deceased family and friends to stay where they were. ....
The Lost Michigan Lumber Village of Nogi Someone recently asked me about the location of an old lumber town by the name of Nogi. It took some doing, but I was able to locate it s former site. This particular gentleman told me his grandfather was born in Nogi, and recalls seeing a road sign for it. The road signs to Nogi are gone, as are any proof that the town even existed.there seems to be absolutely nothing left. Nogi was a logging town approximately five miles north of Moran in Mackinaw County, between two little bodies of water: Bissell Creek and the Carp River. It is southeast of another tiny town by the name of Kenneth; while Kenneth still shows up on maps, Nogi does not. Timber was cut and hauled by the nearby Duluth, South Shore & Atlantic Railroad, which cut through Nogi. ....

Photo Gallery: The Grand Hotel, 1890-1951 I used to go up to Mackinac Island every summer, without fail. Years ago, we could walk through the Grand Hotel grounds, up onto the porch, and even inside. I d walk all through the hotel.down the halls, into any open room, down into the dining areas, library, out to the swimming pool.and that doesn t happen anymore. It s been restricted now for many years, not allowing island visitors to walk willy-nilly through the hotel. NOW FOR SOME FAST FACTS: 1) The Grand Hotel opened for business in 1887. 2) Of all 397 guest rooms, no two are alike. ....
