Artifact Overview
Through the 1940s, Ford Motor Company maintained significant facilities in Michigan's Upper Peninsula. Sawmills at Iron Mountain, Pequaming, L'Anse, and Alberta produced wood for car bodies. Another mill was planned at Munising but never put into production. Ford owned nearly the entire town of Big Bay and operated its inn as a summer retreat for company executives.
