Beautiful collection of 9 original vintage linen postcards capturing the scenery, landmarks and unforgettable vacation atmosphere of Northern Michigan.
For anyone who grew up vacationing in Northern Michigan—or remembers family road trips, summers at the lake, fishing, boating and exploring Mackinac Island—these wonderful old postcards capture a Michigan that will be immediately familiar.
The collection includes:
Crooked Lake, Northern Michigan – A peaceful lake scene framed by classic white-barked birch trees, evoking the quiet beauty of Northern Michigan cottage country.
Sugar Loaf Rock, Mackinac Island, Michigan – A colorful vintage view of one of Mackinac Island's distinctive natural landmarks. A particularly desirable subject for Mackinac Island collectors and visitors.
Leslie Avenue, Mackinac Island, Michigan – A beautiful winding roadway surrounded by the island's dense woodland—a wonderful reminder of exploring Mackinac Island away from the bustle of town.
Horseshoe Bend, Lake Shore Drive, Northern Michigan – A classic wooded road scene. The reverse describes the route along the shores of Little Traverse Bay and Lake Michigan, leading from Petoskey through Harbor Springs—a wonderful piece of Northern Michigan travel history.
Orchard Beach, Mullett Lake, Cheboygan, Michigan – Perhaps the most nostalgic image in the collection: children gathered beside a rowboat on the beach as the sun sets across Mullett Lake. A wonderful image of childhood summers spent "up north."
Along the Shore of Mullett Lake, Topinabee, Michigan – A peaceful view of the shoreline and clear blue water of one of Northern Michigan's beloved inland lakes.
Along the Shore, Bay View, Michigan – A picturesque waterfront drive lined with beautiful birch trees, capturing the historic summer-community atmosphere of Bay View.
