Michigan Ghost Towns 6:00 pm, Tuesday, October 7 Hundreds of 'ghost towns' dot Michigan's landscape throughout both the Lower and Upper Peninsulas. Some even still appear on state highway maps. Originally centered in logging, farming, and mining areas, these towns often faded into history when the natural resources were depleted. Only a handful remain standing, silent and abandoned, as a reminder of what once was. Settle in for an historic tour through Michigan’s past as you visit the ghost towns of the Great Lakes State. Presented by Dianna Stampfler of Promote Michigan. (http://www.promotemichigan.com/index.html).
