Interlochen Center for the Arts:
This institution is world-famous. Nearly 3,000 campers attend the summer Interlochen Arts Camp and 500 the academic Interlochen Arts Academy. These gifted students and campers come from nearly every state in the Union and over 20 countries. We thrive on their performances, attending as many as three per week. Our home is just two minutes from the campus or a leisurely 20 minute walk through rustic Interlochen State Park.
Duck and Green Lakes:
The Odawa and Chippewa Indians frequented these two lakes, especially for fishing and clamming in the summer. They called Duck Lake 'Wahbekaness' meaning water still. Green Lake, connected to Duck by the Little Betsie River, was called 'Wahbekanetta' meaning water still again.
Traverse City State Theater:
In late 2007, the 1917 Traverse City State Theater was renovated and reopened under the astute leadership of Michael Moore. It has become a classic on State Street in the heart of the downtown with quality films shown every day. In 2009 the fifth Traverse City Film Festival will be held in the State Theater, the Opera House and four other locations beginning July 28th. It draws people from all over and has become very successful.
Ski:
Downhill and cross-country skiing are available in every direction from our home.
Golf:
Golf courses in the Grand Traverse abound.
