My grandmother and a great aunt visited Turtle Island about 1920s. They made it to the top and have a box camera photo of them as well as views of island from their boat<br /> They lived in East Toledo and spent most summers at Woodtick peninsula. I enjoy looking at photos of the lsdies in their long bathing suits and the old tents and Theadorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14757180581356347311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147255226831235255.post-64942484350010251092020-09-09T02:30:23.256-07:002020-09-09T02:30:23.256-07:00Wow, just wow!

The idea was to have a few Summer cottages that could be rented for private parties. Unfortunately, they failed to obtain the required building permits from Monroe MI county so the building was stopped while everything was hung upAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17454612767244238742noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6147255226831235255.post-53172994327007780372018-10-24T23:53:56.453-07:002018-10-24T23:53:56.453-07:00A friend and me were on that island before any of ...A friend and me were on that island before any of those buildings were on there and I would say it was between 90 and 93.
