7325 Chief Road , Kaleva, MI 49645(Manistee County)

Beautifully restored & repurposed. In 1902 Chief was a bustling village anchored by these buildings. Adjacent to what was a busy railroad the buildings were an integral part of life in rural Northern MI. People would gather in what was a community center, bring their goods (usually beans) to store in the barn awaiting the next train. A sense of purpose is prevalent in this peaceful setting. Though the train no longer runs & the tracks have been removed creating a wonderful buffer zone & hiking trail, there is still an active sense to the community.
