(Fayette State Park, Ghost Town) The Upper Peninsula had seen several towns boom and bust with the discovery of iron and copper. The State of Michigan's DNR and Historical Societies teamed up to excavate and reconstruct the old iron ore smelting village of Fayette, circa: the early to mid 1800's. A couple building were already rebuilt, but most of the structures had only remnants of walls. There were hundreds of acres with good walking trails, a swim beach, playground and picnic area for daytime visitors, and a semi rustic campground that provided electricity and pump water, but no shower rooms or flush toilettes.
