We all like to take a stroll down memory lane. This video shows Michigan
back before our childhood days. It was filmed in 1949 as part of James A.
Fitzpatrick’s Travel Talks. Take a look at our bathing beauties, the “Bear
Man” and our stunning Michigan scenery.
The areas shown have grown and changed but the appeal of
Michigan is still being promoted to tourists today. And they come by
the thousands to see our unique treasures, such as Sleeping Bear Dunes
on Lake Michigan. This area is now a National Park and dune buggies
are prohibited on the fragile dune landscape.
Mackinaw Island has attracted people since early times, the original
residents here in Michigan; the Ojibwa, the French, the English, and
tourists have been coming here since Victorian times.
Thanks for visiting with us in Michigan along this vintage highway
to the past. We hope you decide to visit us in person real soon.

Thanks so much for posting this beautiful Michigan movie clip. What has happened with movement of the dunes since this was filmed? What a very blessed state.
