White Pine Village

White Pine Village

White Pine Village opened in 1976. It is an outdoor museum containing nineteenth century buildings and related artifacts. The centerpiece is Burr Caswell's 1849 farmhouse. The Caswell farmhouse served as the first county seat and as the first Mason County Courthouse structure in 1855.

The educational village is a self-guided tour of over two dozen preserved and refurbished local historic buildings of Mason County, Michigan. Jessica Hulett, reporter for Capital News Service of Michigan State University School of Journalism , has story entitled: "White Pine Village sets for state pilot program." [http://cns.jrn.msu.edu/articles/2002_1011/culturalsidebar.html] ] The buildings contain thousands of artifacts, much of which are from the nineteenth century. The local newspaper, the Ludington Daily News, often has stories on upcoming special events at White Pine Village.

In addition there is much history on northern Michigan.
