White Pine Village

By Linda Tancs

Set upon 13 acres in Ludington overlooking Lake Michigan, White Pine Village represents pioneering Michigan life in the late 1800s and early 1900s. The village boasts more than 30 historic buildings, including the original 1849 Mason County Courthouse (on the State Register of Historic Places). You’ll also find gems like a turn-of-the-century steam locomotive, a blacksmith shop and lumber camp buildings. In fact, many of the buildings contain thousands of authentic artifacts and archives depicting the rich lumbering and agricultural history of the area. The site is open annually from May to October.
