Surrey House Almost Named Colonial House-1945

Clip from the front page of the Cleaver in 1945, one year before the Surrey House opened to the public and became a regional attraction.

Northern Michigan and Harrison in particular saw a booming post-war rise in tourism.  While the same building now has drawings to retrofit into the Harrison District Library, the building remains largely unchanged. The name, owners, and the times may have changed but this building has been standing in Harrison since 1880.
