Sightseeing Cruise Special Events
  • Available by private charter plan a unique all day sightseeing cruise to Fayette State Park located in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan.  This once bustling industrial community manufactured charcoal pig iron between 1867 and 1891.  The town had a foundry with blast furnaces, hotel, school house, shops and numerous residences.  Sailing schooners were in and out of the beautiful harbor, transporting goods and passengers and departing with their holds full of pig iron for ports all over Lake Michigan.  Now all that remains is a ghost town with many of the building restored so you can step back in time and walk through this historic village.  For more information on Fayette State Park go to www.exploringthenorth.com/fayette/town.   There are only a few seats remaining. Don't miss out on this unique opportunity. Call our reservation desk today.
