My office today while eating lunch at my desk. ... and hunting for the elusive Cope Soil.

Fayette Historic State Park is the state park of the historic town of Fayette in the U.S. state of Michigan. It is located on the Big Bay de Noc of Lake Michigan in between Snail Shell Harbor and Sand Bay, on the southern side of the Upper Peninsula, about 17 miles south of US 2. Fayette was the site of an industrial community that manufactured charcoal pig iron between 1867 and 1891. The town has been reconstructed into a living museum showing what life was like in this town in the late 19th century.

Iron workers and their families long gone from the empty buildings of Fayette, but remembered in their photographs. fayettemichigan.com

Too busy for new pictures and here is one from the archives. Looking back from the Manager's house at the former Fayette Iron Works.

I'm on the road this week and this wheel from the ghost town of Fayette, Michigan kind of spoke to me yesterday. :-)

I had my doubts about this being true looking at this old wood stove in a reconstructed Fayette log cabin. :-)

The large building is the barber shop and dance hall.
