Download or read book Clifford Lake Inn written by Gary L. Hauck and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2012 with total page 84 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ever since the days when horse-drawn buggies brought resorters to enjoy the charm of the area more than 130 years ago, Clifford Lake Inn has been continuously providing hospitality to those who visit. It remains a touchstone of history and of progress. The first telegraph line was stretched from Stanton to Clifford Lake re-sort on October 1, 1880, but instead of a telegraph instrument as intended, a telephone was put into operation. It took, however, until February 22, 1881, for the first conversation to pass over the wire. When the U.S. Post Office opened in 1881, the town was known as Richard's Point. Clifford Lake Inn was constructed and opened for business. A horse-drawn "bus" line transported passengers from Stanton to Clifford Lake. The cost of a round trip fare was a whopping five cents. A steamboat also was launched at the lake that same year. The Inn has gone through many transformations since 1881. It has experienced destruction by fi re, multiple owners, a condemned state of disrepair, renewal, restoration, changes of style, and paranormal investigations. Despite the many challenges along the way, the Inn not only remains a staple of Montcalm County, but has been declared a State of Michigan Historic Site since 1986. This is the saga of Clifford Lake Inn.

Download or read book The Story of Heritage Village written by Gary L. Hauck and published by iUniverse. This book was released on 2011-07-20 with total page 165 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With the humble beginning of two historic buildings acquired in 1986, the Montcalm Heritage Village has grown to include more than 25 original and reconstructed structures and hundreds of artifacts from local areas depicting life in Michigan at the turn of the 1800s to 1900s. The Village comes alive during the annual Heritage Festival the first weekend in August and includes a one-room schoolhouse reenactment, a working blacksmith shop, and a civil war encampment. The Story of Heritage Village, however, is not simply a story of buildings, amazing as they are. This is a story about people those who lived in and among these structures in days gone by, and those who have labored to reconstruct and preserve them, and bring them to life. It is the fabric of these individual narratives that has been woven together to make The Story of Heritage Village.
