Vintage Views Along the West Michigan Pike: From Sand Trails to US-31

Join authors Christine Byron and Tom Wilson at the Suttons Bay-Bingham District Library for a nostalgic road trip down the old West Michigan Pike, now US-31. This historic road was the first continuous, improved route between Michigan City and Mackinaw City. The road along the Lake Michigan coast opened West Michigan to automobile travel and tourism. The authors depict the adventure and romance of motoring showing vintage postcards, photographs, maps, and ephemera to illustrate this journey. Time-travel with them through the beautiful West Michigan landscape and quaint towns to hotels and cabins, tourist camps and state parks, and other stops along the road.

This event is scheduled for May 31st at 7 pm.
