Fayette Historic State Park

One of Michigan’s most unique state parks, Fayette preserves a remarkably intact 1880s iron-smelting ghost town on the shores of Big Bay de Noc. Tour 20+ restored buildings including the furnace complex, hotel, opera house, and workers’ homes set against dramatic white limestone bluffs and a crystal-clear natural harbor. The scenery alone is worth the trip — this is history meets natural beauty at its finest.
