Hidden in Plain Sight: The Carter Mill
Join local historian Jordan Owen to uncover a forgotten story of the West Bay waterfront—a location whose unique history has played a pivotal role in shaping the industrial and social landscape of the Leelanau shore of West Grand Traverse Bay over the past 150 years. Nestled on a familiar waterfront property that has been in constant use since 1877, the Carter Mill stood as the forgotten fourth bayfront lumber mill. The mill and the occupants that followed would form the foundation for the “Lower Greilickville” community, which continues to thrive and evolve to this day.
