Ghost Towns in Mid Michigan with
Audrey Martini - Ingham County Historical Commission
Powerpoint Presentation from June 16, 2022
We learned about some communities in Mason's backyard that once existed, but have been lost to time. We usually think of the wild west and/or mining towns when we think of ghost towns and paper cities, but Ingham County also had paper towns and settlements that no longer exist. Audrey Martini, a member of the Ingham County Historical Commission took us through some of those early efforts.
