Attractions & Entertainment
Harbor Country has miles and miles of beaches to walk or just kick back in the sun to read a book, throw a Frisbee, have a picnic lunch, swim or do nothing at all. There are piers, marinas and boat slips on Lake Michigan and rivers on which you can kayak or canoe. You can explore the dunes that are here from prehistoric times, hike the many trails resplendent with nature, or enjoy the endless bike trails covered with leafy canopies that take your breath away. Don’t forget our quaint back roads just waiting for you to discover and shop for their farm-to-table bounty. When was the last time you had homemade jam, freshly made honey and syrup, warm-from-the-oven pies, and brown eggs gathered that morning? There are small towns that you can easily walk from one end to the other investigating everything along the way. Harbor Country celebrates every occasion with a parade, especially the Flag Day Parade in Three Oaks billed as the country’s largest and a must see. We’re here in Harbor Country for all four seasons to bask in the sunshine, leaf-peep, bike along, ski across and ride around in. Just don’t forget your camera.

RIP CURRENTS: are powerful, channeled currents of water flowing away
from shore. They typically extend from the shoreline, through the surf zone, and past the line of breaking waves. Rip Currents can occur at any beach with breaking waves, including the Great Lakes. As waves travel from deep to shallow water, they will break near the shoreline. When waves break strongly in some locations and weakly in others, this can cause circulation cells which are seen as rip currents: narrow, fast-moving belts of water traveling offshore. Safety tips for Rip Currents are provided at all Harbor Country beaches. It cannot be stressed enough that even experienced swimmers can be caught in Rip Currents.
SAFETY: Chikaming and New Buffalo Townships have initiated a safety location system for the Lake Michigan shoreline. There are blue fiberglass markers installed approximately every one tenth of a mile along the shoreline. Blue beach markers start at the 7.8 mile mark and extend to the 14.7 mile mark. These markers are coordinated to the Berrien County 911 system for faster emergency response in the event of a mishap. You can also access the local emergency center on your cell phone by dialing 269-756-1111.

The Story of Harbor Country By the Late Ron Miller, re-written by Marisue Hojnacki
“
In 1934 the State
recognized New Buffalo
New Buffalo
W
essel Whittaker was having a miserable day. Bound for Chicago out of Buffalo, NY, Wessel and his crew, aboard the schooner
Post Boy, thought the end might be near. A savage November storm in 1834 grabbed control of their vessel and hurtled it onto the Lake Michigan shore. Aground and breaking up, the Post Boy was lost; but Wessel and his crew
managed to struggle ashore near the current village of Grand Beach. The New Yorkers, en route to St. Joseph to report the loss of their ship, came upon a harbor which Whittaker was certain could rival the port of Chicago. Captain Whittaker determined that he would return to the scene of his calamity and found his “New” Buffalo. Our courageous Captain of course, wasn’t the first visitor to New Buffalo. The Miami, Iroquois and Potawatomi Tribes all fought for control of the area. The Native Americans, the game and fish they cherished, also attracted French traders and missionaries; but it was our Captain who first made New Buffalo into a permanent community. Whittaker, along with

Michigan" and built

a tourist information center here.
friends and relatives, returned in 1835 and began to develop and promote their dream. Sawmills were constructed and log buildings for every purpose arose. More settlers arrived from New York and the South with not dreams, but real hope and expectations, of riches to be harvested here. Soon these pioneers learned the value of tourists. Land travelers between Detroit and Chicago spent their tourist dollars as they meandered through
Although the railroad continued to contribute to the local economy, it was not until the 1900s and the age of the automobile that New Buffalo truly established its link to tourism. In 1934 the State recognized New Buffalo as “The Gateway to Michigan” and built a tourist information center here. The current Welcome Center on I-94 is the busiest in Michigan. The dredging of New Buffalo’s harbor began in the 1960s. By
1975, New Buffalo’s safe harbor had become a reality and the new Whittaker Street bridge was dedicated. Not quite a port to equal Chicago’s, Wessel’s harbor was finally complete.
Michiana-Grand Beach
U
nlike nearby Harbor Country communities, Michiana and Grand Beach were founded solely as resorts. The Long Beach Development Company began subdividing and building Michiana in the 1920s. A famous Michiana landmark was a Signal Oak at the corner of Michiana and Powhattan Drives. Early surveyors marked the tree’s trunk to signal the IndianaMichigan state line. The area that is now Michiana (Michigan side) and Michiana Shores (Indiana side) was originally called Michigan Shores. Stately white gates have welcomed visitors to Grand Beach since the
The Grand Beach Inn was once The Pinewood Lodge and served as the training camp for James Braddock as he prepared for his prize fight with Joe Louis. Perhaps the most famous residents of Grand Beach, are author Father Andrew Greeley and the Mayors Daley of Chicago, who have maintained summer homes in the village for decades.
Chikaming Township
C
hikaming Township is made up of the unincorporated towns of Union Pier, Lakeside, Harbert and Sawyer. Chikaming Township stretches into the countryside as far as Weesaw Township on the east and Three Oaks on the south. What has been learned is that the name possibly came from “ChigkeChickamiw”, an Algonquin word of the Plankashaw, or less probably,
Potawatami dialect. Professor Andrade of the University of Chicago defines this word in the dialect of the Algonquin’s as meaning “on the shore of the sea” or more literally “at the edge of the great expanse.” It was originally a part of New Buffalo Township until it was set apart in 1856 as its own township.
Union Pier
U
nion Pier was founded on an ethic of hard work without visions of a port to rival Chicago in contrast to Wessel Whittaker’s notion in New Buffalo. There was nature’s bounty to be harvested
here. Tree trunks measured five feet and more in diameter. Trees rose 60 feet to the lowest branches. Squirrels, we are assured, ran through the community without ever touching the ground. There clearly was no Sears Tower to be seen on the horizon across the Lake, but everyone in what is now Union Pier understood that timber was the fuel which would fire the growth of Chicago. Boards could be big business, and so, a group of men built a “Pier in Union” at the foot of Berrien St. It was constructed as a 600-foot edifice jutting into Lake Michigan. A 130-ton schooner was built on the adjacent beach, tracks were laid to Three Oaks and muledriven cars brought in lumber from sawmills along the route. Soon there were brick and tool handle factories sending their wares to Chicago and beyond. The Chicago Fire of 1871 only increased the demand for Union Pier’s natural bounty, but while Chicago was

New Buffalo. In the late 1840s, the Michigan Central Railroad Company completed the stretch of tracks between Niles and New Buffalo, making New Buffalo the end of the railroad line for travelers between Detroit and Chicago. An unprecedented scale of tourism quickly reshaped the town’s character, hotels, restaurants and numerous saloons selling whiskey at five cents a pint opened for business.
early 1900s. The community’s golf course dates from 1911 and was a huge attraction for Chicagoans who arrived three times a day on the Michigan Central Railroad. Frank Lloyd Wright built homes in Grand Beach, but the village’s most famous architectural offering was the 175-room Golfmore Hotel. Opened in 1921, the Golfmore offered concerts, movies and a huge, at least for the Midwest, ski jump located on a dune behind the hotel. The Golfmore was destroyed in 1939 by a spectacular fire.
rebuilt, Union Pier’s pier washed away and a new economy had to be established. In the 1900s, tourism replaced timber, bricks and fishing as Union Pier’s major industry. Union Pier became the United Nations of tourism. Eastern Europeans, African Americans and Jewish vacationers all established homes and resorts in the community. Olympian Jesse Owens had a home here. Chicago Mayor Anton Cermak, ultimately the victim of an assassin’s bullet, brought guests to his summer home by yacht. John Dillinger even stopped for gas at the Prusa Resort service station, which is now the Wine Sellers on Red Arrow Highway. Still, it’s the lake and its sunsets that attract us all.

As with the other towns developing at the time, one of the first orders of business was to establish a sawmill, but it wasn’t

Harbert
he emergence of the railroad secured the founding of Harbert. John Glavin, an engineer on the Lake Shore and Michigan Southern Railroad, noted the area’s barren land on one of his runs between Chicago and Detroit. Glavin investigated and found the land affordable. He now had a new career. While Glavin founded the community in the 1850s, a Chicago industrialist who was instrumental in building the town’s train depot, aced out Glavin when it came to naming the village. Agriculture anchored the Harbert economy, orchards and vineyards were established. All the town’s products were gathered at the Harbert depot, bound for transport to Chicago and Detroit. The community’s most famous visitor and resident was Carl Sandburg who wrote much of his Pulitzer Prize-winning account of Abraham Lincoln at his Harbert home. The Sandburgs lived in Harbert for 15 years. The Prairie Club held their first series of walks in 1908 under the auspices of the Playground Association of Chicago. The walking group and 330 others
renamed Lakeside in 1874. In the late 1800s, with a train now servicing the community, Lakeside’s tourist industry began to flourish. The early visitors were often administrators and faculty members from the University of Chicago. In 1913 the Chikaming Country Club was established in Wilkinson’s lakefront resort known as Pine Bluff Resort

took their first walk in 1908 to the Indiana Dunes. They established camps on the lakefront and on February 1, 1930 purchased a 60-acre parcel
in Harbert, which they named Hazelhurst Camp. This camp is still very active today; dedicated to conservation and walking.

Sawyer
n Ohio judge, Silas Sawyer, grew weary of the courtroom and decided he would join the westward migration in the mid-1800s. Sawyer bought 100 acres and after clearing half of his land planted it with fruit trees. He continued logging the area and hauled his timber on a horse-driven railroad to Fuller Pier, now the site of Warren Dunes State Park. The town grew as an agricultural center and eventually established an open air market from which buyers transported their purchases by train and truck to population centers. In the 1920s, John Flynn arrived and started his Palm Tea Room and the Flynn Soda Grill. The Flynn Building became Sawyer’s most famous and for many years also housed the Flynn Theater and its live productions.
Sawyer is home to the well-known Tower Hill Camp, founded in the 1920s by the Congregational Church. There is also the Bethany Beach community founded in 1905 and Shorewood Hills, established in 1928. Both are private beachfront communities whose membership came mostly from Chicago-area Swedish Baptist and Swedish Covenant churches originally.

Three Oaks
magine this: the President of the United States makes his way to a tiny Michigan village to dedicate a war memorial. He’s greeted by a fellow who has turned turkey feathers into a worldwide industry and declared “Three Oaks Against the World.”
Edward Warren shook the hand of President McKinley in 1899 at the Three Oaks train station and heard him eloquently dedicate the Dewey Cannon Monument to the good people of Three Oaks and their contribution to the Spanish-American War. The campaign Warren waged against every other city and village in the nation to raise the most per capita for the war effort and its veterans was yet another victory for a most incredible businessman and benefactor.
Three Oaks was linked to the rest of our current Harbor Country communities by the timber and bricks shipped to Chicago and other Great Lakes cities, and, of course, there was the railroad. The crews aboard the Central Michigan Railroad passing through the village recognized three oak trees which appeared to be one because of their mass and proximity. Everyone on board recognized the three oaks, as did the local residents and so the village was named. Let’s pick up the course of Mr. Warren. One day he noticed a store clerk fix a broken whale bone corset stay with a turkey feather quill. An industry was born at that
moment. Turkey feather quills became garment stays and buggy whips. The Three Oaks economy was booming and the Warren Featherbone Factory still stands proudly in the center of town. The biggest events in Harbor Country occur in Three Oaks every year. The “Oakers” claim they have the biggest Flag Day Parade in the United States, certainly no one will dispute that it’s one great party. The biggest event is the Apple Cider Century bike ride which draws some 7,000 riders from across the country. No buggy whips required.

Shopping
Shopping in Harbor Country is unusual as there are no “big box stores”. How refreshing. What you will find are hundreds of shops as unique and personal as the owners’ tastes and imagination. The area offers an eclectic mix of high fashion and casual clothing boutiques, home décor and decorating emporiums, unique gift, mementos and keepsakes shops, specialty stores and farmers’ markets with the best of the season’s bounty. Our catch phrase is: “If you can’t find it in Harbor Country, you just haven’t tried hard enough!”

Help us discover the “then and now” of Harbor Country We’re all fascinated with history in one way or another. Although Harbor Country has gone through changes over the years, many of us have fond family memories folded into the pages of local history books. The Harbor Country Guide Committee would like to share rediscovered local landmarks in next year’s guide. If you have photographs of old buildings of Harbor Country and can identify them, we would like you to share them with us. We are looking for pictures from the 1800s to the 1960s and would like them in digital format. Our committee will then take the “now” pictures to match up with them. Please send them to email@sweethavenresort.com.

New Buffalo This vibrant town is a center of activity with its public beach, lake and riverside parks, boat launch and marinas. The streets are lined with specialty stores and unique eateries. Its lakefront park is a perfect place to watch the sailboats or a sunset. New Buffalo is home to the Harbor Country Chamber of Commerce, New Buffalo Railroad Museum, an Amtrak stop and a Michigan Welcome Center, the busiest in the state.
MICHIGAN INDIANA
Lakeside Settled in 1854 with the Wilkinson sawmill, trading post, and pier, the town became one of the area’s earliest summer retreats. Red Arrow Highway and its crossroads are home to many antique shops, galleries and specialty stores. An active homeowners’ association sponsors several events during the year and fosters a strong sense of community.
Michiana Known for its quaint log cabins, many of them dating back to the 1920s, this charming community is home to about 200 homeowners. Michiana was one of the last resort areas in the region to be developed because of its dense woods and undisturbed natural wetlands. The village is located on the shores of Lake Michigan and on the Indiana/Michigan state border, hence the name Michiana was given in 1945.
Harbert Home to a Swedish bakery that speaks to the Scandinavian founders of this thriving little resort community that was created after the turn of the century. The community’s most famous visitor and resident was Carl Sandburg. Much of Sandburg’s Pulitzer Prize winning account of Abraham Lincoln was written at his Harbert home, where he and his wife lived for 15 years. Today, you’ll encounter out of the ordinary art galleries, antique shops, stores, and charming dining opportunities.
Grand Beach Originally a community of Sears and Roebuck cottages, this exclusive resort village on Lake Michigan is home to less than 150 residents. Stately white gates have welcomed visitors to Grand Beach since the early 1900’s and the community’s public golf course dates to 1911. Among the most famous visitors to Grand Beach are author Father Andrew Greeley and the Mayors Daley of Chicago who have maintained vacation homes in the village for decades.
Sawyer The site of Warren Dunes, which is one of the state’s largest parks and the most popular with several hundred acres of dunelands, campgrounds and beaches. Sawyer also provides a large travel center just off Interstate 94 which offers weary travelers a safe haven, fuel, food and travel aids. The surrounding area is graced with country vineyards, many antique stores, curio shops and fruit stands.
Union Pier Named from one of the shipping piers used to transport timber to Chicago, the area’s major industry in the 1870s, this popular resort town has boomed in the recent years. The countryside surrounding this quaint but growing lakeshore community is dotted with unique antique shops, galleries and grand old resorts that have been restored to their former glory.
Three Oaks Named for massive oaks that stood near a town rail crossing, the town has become quite a cultural center with its fine arts movie theatre, a live performance theatre that draws much of its talent from Chicago and several artists’ studios and galleries. In addition, the downtown area, with its “turn of the century” buildings, features niche retail, specialty and dining options as well as several parks and museums.
