Escanaba -- Post 2
While in Escanaba, we stayed at the House of Ludington. The hotel was built in the mid 1800s. Other than the fact that it has been updated with electricity and plumbing, it was like stepping back in time. Here is the front desk as well as a photo of the first glass elevator built in Michigan, which allows a view of Lake Michigan.
In the bar, they have a terrific collection of figures. They were all around a foot in height.
When we stayed there a few years back, the House of Ludington was also, surprisingly, dog-friendly. Nikki rode upstairs with us in the elevator! I add this because it may fuel other readers' enthusiasm for a trip to Escanaba.
