Area History

Our historic neighborhoods showcase gingerbread architecture that adds a quiet elegance to the entire area – including our downtown districts, where many of the buildings have been around since the days of horse-drawn buggies.

The Bay View Association, established in 1875, touts nearly 500 Victorian cottages, churches, and inns and has earned a designation as a National Historic Landmark.

The refined elegance of an earlier era, combined with northern Michigan’s classic natural beauty, makes this a vacation destination unlike any other.
