Over Labor Day weekend, Mr. Wonderful and I visited Fish Town in Leland, Michigan. Here is a blurb from the web site which explains better than I can.
Northern Michigan’s commercial fishing heritage remains alive today in Leland’s Fishtown! Walk along the docks, amongst the weathered fishing shanties, smokehouses, racks of drying fishing nets, and fish tugs on the Leland River, and you can imagine what it would have been like in the early 1900s to live and work in this small fishing village, nestled along the shore of Lake Michigan. Fishtown still operates as one of the only working commercial fishing villages in the state of Michigan.
It is a very picturesque place to visit. Here are some photos I took.
It was actually quite crowded and took some waiting and cropping to get photos without people!
Have a great day!

Thanks for the travelogue. Those are always fun.
I love the black white photos! What a neat looking place. Hugs,
Looks very vintage in black and white photos. An Ansel Adams Fishtown calendar in the making!
Interesting. I’ve never heard of it. Are those fishing nets wound on the giant spools? And are they still being used?
We’ve been to Leland. It’s a neat place and the fish sandwiches are delicious! Great shots!
