Love those June photos and the house on the bluff. I also did not make the connection with Anne Cottage. The book Anne where there is a rock on the island dedicated to the book. I wonder if the Cottage was named after it. I have the book it is very old and long in small print but i did read...

Scott any new photos of the island?

You know I almost had a chance when I was in my 20s to be a passenger in the Annual Chicago to Mackinac race. Long story but I just did not want to push myself on the person who with a group was part of that race. I still can remember seeing the winners in the harbor. You could walk out and...

What beautiful shots you gave us Scott. Stonecliff before it was restored I just stumbled upon. The house so reminded me of Collinwood. I vacationed MC every year. Life and other things such as a burn out ended those visit in 1980 I believe. I remember watching THE WRATH OF KHAN in the movie...

Here on hallowed ground their silent tents are spread and glory guards with solemn round the bivouac of the dead. The battle field British landing Arch Rock Sugar Loaf the Catholic cemetery the golf course the church there is also a novel written about the island which i tracked down after many...

Byron I am glad you asked that question. I really never knew which movie it was. Yes the Grand Hotel swimming pool was feature in the movie. Most if not all of the film Somewhere in Time was done on the island. The interior of the college main stage where feature films were shown a scene was...

Scott, i cannot believe this. I visited the Island in 1970 with my Grandparents. We stayed at the Wyndamere Hotel all in yellow. Grandma and I ran all over the place with bats twittering in our ears that first night. We went all over the place that evening. We went up to the Fort the main...
