A Summer in Time

 

Photo of A Summer in Time newspaper pageWhen you think about summer, do you think about trips to a lake or a river?  If you do, you are part of a Michigan tradition that is thousands of years old.

This Time Traveler takes a look at Michigan's first peoples—who went to the lake or the river long before there were cars or highways.
