In this episode I explore the early history of South Haven, located on the mouth of the Black River, as a pioneer settlement, emerging as a lumber milling industry and later a productive farming community known for its blueberries, apples and peaches. I also discuss its growth as a city for tourism during the 1920's through 1940's, which developed into a prospering entertainment and resort area for tourists from Chicago and Milwaukee. It has a fascinating history, and the community is still a popular summer destination in Michigan to this day.
