Summary

Did you know that... Chicago almost wasn't a part of Illinois? Door County, Wisconsin, has nine standing lighthouses -- more than any other county in the United States? Octave Chanute made historic flights from a sand dune in Gary, Indiana, years before the Wright brothers flew? Petoskey, Michigan, has a type of fossil named after it -- a 350-million-year-old coral called Petoskey stone? These are just a few of the fascinating things you'll discover in Great Lakes Circle Tour, Reliving History Along Lake Michigan's Circle Tour Route. This book is your tour guide around Lake Michigan through Illinois, Wisconsin, Michigan and Indiana. A brief history of each region is followed by a comprehensive list of historic, cultural and scenic sites, along with all the information you need for an afternoon's outing or a fun family vacation.
