NORTHERN MICHIGAN TOUR-AUGUST 15-19,1984 The 1984 study tour of northern Michigan will visit the Traverse Bay Region, Mackinac Island, and Sault Ste. Marie. Here, where Lakes Michigan and Huron are joined by the Straits of Mackinac, where Lake Superior flows into the St. Mary's River and Lake Huron, and where Grand Traverse Bay forms Michigan's little finger, people of many ages and cultures have gathered. The architecture on the northern Michigan tour reflects the lives of these people, offering buildings that span three centuries and include: two military strongholds from the 18th-19th centuries (Fort Michilimacinac and Fort Mackinac); several buildings associated with the Ottawa and Chippewa (the Indian agency office at Sault Ste. Marie, the Indian Dormitory on Mackinac Island, Holy Childhood of Jesus Church and Indian School at Harbor Springs); a magnificent display of resort architecture in the Traverse Bay Region and Mack­ inac Island (the Methodist Episcopal summer camp meet­ ing grounds of Bay View, the Grand Hotel- where the group will spend three nights, the Loeb summer estate on Lake Charlevoix); the public and private architecture of several small cities and villages (Traverse City and Charle­ voix); engineering structures (Sault Ste. Marie locks, railroad and highway bridges, steel mills, and hydroelectric plants); and recent architecture (Interlochen Center for the Cottages on top of the West Bluff; Mackinac Island Arts and the Fine Arts Center of Northwestern Michigan Photo: Phil Porter, Mackinac Island State Park Commission College).
