As winter’s chill wraps a blanket around the Brule River, the ice begins to form, leaving just enough open water to keep the beer cold. A perfect spot for those who know that nature can offer more than just beauty.

Bishop Baraga’s first Upper Peninsula mission, reconstructed on its original site on the east shore of Indian Lake near Manistique, MI. Baraga arrived here in 1832, paddling from Cross Village with his native escorts and guides. He found the local natives already building a church; he baptized 31 of them that summer. They built a larger church in 1833. For many years the site included an Indian burial ground with the remains of chief Ossawinamakee, one of his sons, and others. Spirit houses of various sizes and shapes over each grave survived into the 20th Century.
