Packed full of pieces of history. We saw arrowheads, boxes and bottles from an old store and pharmacy, train model, photographs, a preserved double-headed cow, tools, clothes, scrapbooks, etc. It's a treasure trove, but would benefit from more explanatory signage guiding one through the broader timeline of this region. That would help put it all in context for those, like us, who don't know anything about the area and are on a self-guided wander.

Where on River Street was the health department in the 1940/50's? My father Lars Switzer,MD, was the Medical director during that time. I remember visiting him there.

Hi Lois, Thank you for your inquiry. According to Polk's City Directory, the Manistee-Benzie County District Health Department where your father worked was located at 317-375 River Street on the second floor of the Manistee County Savings Bank building. Looks like it was on the second floor in rooms 205-209 through the early 1950s.

I am trying to locate a Manistee high yearbook for school year 1966-67. I moved away after that year and never got one for some reason.
