Glen Haven & the Cannery — a stop on M-22 North.
Off to your left is Glen Haven, a tiny restored village right on the water, and it's worth the short detour.
This was a company town. A man named David Henry Day — everyone calls him D.H. Day — ran the sawmill, the store, the dock and pretty much everything else here around the turn of the last century. Steamships stopped to take on cordwood for their boilers, and Glen Haven sold it to them. When steamers stopped burning wood, the town's reason for existing evaporated.
What's left is preserved rather than restored-for-tourists: the general store, the blacksmith shop, and the old cannery down at the water, which is now a boathouse museum full of Great Lakes wooden craft — including the surfboats the life-saving crews rowed out into storms. It's free and it's genuinely good.
D.H. Day is worth remembering for another reason: he was an early conservationist, unusual for a lumberman, and he set aside land and pushed for the protection of this shoreline decades before there was a park. His farm, with that iconic white barn and domed silos, is just up the road and is one of the most photographed farmsteads in America.
