Looking for an awesome, historic, authentic Michigan ghost town to visit?
Then this is where you need to head...Fayette in the Upper Peninsula.

The photo gallery below shows the remnants of Fayette in the UP, once a bustling, enterprising & energetic city in the 1800's, known for their pig iron and smelting operations. There are also a few photos of Fayette going back over 100 years!

The town has no more residents but is now a state park that we can all visit and wander thru the town, with many of the buildings still standing and preserved while some of the missing residences are marked by their stone foundations only.
