Negaunee, Michigan
Negaunee is a very special place to me. I spent 6 of the first 8 years of my married life in this historic central Upper Peninsula mining town. I shot these photos "way" back in 2004-2005 as a way to remember the town as I would be moving away soon. I also decided to include matching photos for most locations in the dead of winter for some interesting comparisons. Pardon the quality, most pics were shot on an old 1.5 MP Vivtar. Just wanted to share a few memories of what I consider "my hometown."
Read MoreTeal Lake Estates - A new subdivision was created along the south-west shore of Teal Lake a few years back. Some of the nicer homes in town are being built here. I could live without it. The cliffs in the distance are a place I love to hike and now instead of tree covered hills across the lake we get to see houses:(

FYI-What you have indicated as the Neguanee Historical Society is actually the "Foley House". My good friends Jack and Barb Perala renovated it in the 60's and lived in it until around 1983 and then sold it. The Negaunee Historical Society is a different building and is actually located at 303 E. Main Street.
You did a great job of documenting my home town as well. I haven't lived in Negaunee since 1981. I visit a couple times a year, yet when I am there or look at your photo's it is as if I never left. I am very proud of my hometown!! Go Negaunee Go!
