Looking Southwest Flat River Native Village Site & Present Lowell, Michigan

THEN & NOW

The Interpretation Sign in front of you helps you visualize what this area may have looked like in the mid-1800 and as you take your eyes away from the sign and look about you this is what you see now. The Native village area no longer here but one can image and still their presence.

 

 

Rare Illustrations of Native People Villages in this area displayed on this interpretation sign.
