Horton Bay, Michigan

Horton Bay Michigan still has historic buildings and artifacts from the days when Hemingway fished and wrote nearby.
Lumbering camps abounded in the area (it was lumber from here that helped rebuild Chicago after the great fire), and it had an Indian village. Many of Hemingway’s Nick Adams stories are filled with tales gathered here and in the neighboring towns.

Today you can still walk the trails that Hemingway walked and see the sites he saw. The cottage of Windemere is still there at Walloon Lake, though it is not open to the public. This region inspired two books, "Up In Michigan" and "Big Two-Hearted River".
