Description:
The History of Caseville 1850-1960" visits the town that got its start, like many others in Michigan, as a lumbering town, with the Crawford Family at its helm. Each spring the Pigeon River would be filled with white pine logs. When the trees were gone, farming and commercial fishing established the base of trade. The railroads and sandy beaches created the tourist trade Caseville is known for today. Available from www.michiganhistoryvideos.com
