Big changes are happening in our community! The Kauffman Park volleyball court has been replaced with a brand new pickleball facility, and we can't wait to check it out! Meanwhile, do you recall the volleyball court situated at the New Presque Isle Lighthouse? This iconic spot held so many memories for many of us. This photograph was taken on July 4th, 1988, a sunny summer day filled with laughter and excitement. Can you identify anyone in the image? Take a close look and see if you can spot any familiar faces from back in the day! 🏐📸

It's officially spooky season! The Lodge has been throwing epic Halloween bashes for years. This 1994 party was straight out of a horror movie with all the character actors - and one of them still serves up the goods today... can you guess who? 😂

Article in the Flint Journal January 28, 1940. Gordon Cole mentioned in the article was the stepson of Bliss Stebbins and brother of academy award winning actress Kim Hunter, who helped his mother manage the Grand Lake Hotel at Grand Lake after Bliss died until she sold it in 1942. Aviation became his career. Miss Tillie Sporer would become Gordon Cole's wife. Not sure what road the shore road referred to was - E. Grand Lake Road or US-23 S.

Following the construction of the Lodge, Newell Avery Eddy Jr. embarked on a quest to procure suitable furniture. Unable to find pieces that met his standards, he established a workshop behind the Lodge and crafted the furniture with the same builders that built the Lodge. Today, these exceptional pieces are over 100 years old and are no longer in production. Unfortunately, one of the chairs suffered damage during this year's Pancake Breakfast, but fortunately, our neighbor and friend, Don Bourdeau, skillfully restored it to its former glory. We extend our sincerest gratitude to him for his efforts. His documented steps:

"I drilled a 5/8th inch hole in both sections of the broken leg then inserted a 5/8 inch oak dowel in the hole along with Titebond glue. I used a ratchet strap to hold it in place while the glue cured overnight. Three headless 2-1/2 inch screws were drilled diagonally between the two leg sections for extra stability. It’s not perfect but the leg should now hold up for another 100 years".

Newell Avery Eddy Sr. (1856-1917), a distinguished figure in Bay City, was a multifaceted entrepreneur who owned a boat, a lumber business, and a bank. He resided at 615 N. Grant Street and was the owner of the esteemed Grand Lake Hunting and Fishing Club. His son went on to build the Lodge. Notably, Eddy was an avid ornithologist, boasting an extensive collection of birds, meticulously mounted and displayed in a dedicated room. His collection was the largest in the state. Following his passing, his wife commissioned a beautiful fountain in Elm Lawn Cemetery in his honor. The fountain, crafted from Vermont granite, stands three and a half feet high and three feet across, featuring intricate bas-relief carvings of a heron, wild ducks, and a dragonfly. Two robins, carved to resemble birds quenching their thirst, adorn the edge of the bath. The fountain's centerpiece is a constantly flowing spring, providing fresh water. Due to wartime restrictions, the installation of this remarkable monument took some time to complete.

This postcard, dated August 19, 1908, features the iconic Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse, situated on a 215-acre island. Established in 1857, the lighthouse serves as a beacon, marking the entrance to Thunder Bay, the harbor of Alpena, and the Thunder Bay National Marine Sanctuary. Thunder Bay Island is a protected nature preserve, but the Alpena Shipwreck Tours offers a sightseeing trip called the Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse Cruise aboard the Lady Michigan to view and experience the historic Thunder Bay Island Lighthouse from the water.

The Alpena Mural Trail features exceptional artwork, including a stunning piece by David Swartz that commemorates the 19-year legacy of Muddy Paws at that location. Completed in July 2026, it was the inaugural installation of the Fresh Waves public art project for that year. Truly remarkable!
