Episode 64
Published 1 year, 3 months ago
Description
Michigan has its own historical tale reminiscent of the mythical Atlantis, centered around the village of Belvidere. Initially flourishing with essential amenities like a hotel, mills, and even its own bank, Belvedere's growth was abruptly stunted when nature struck. Despite some residents attempting to return after the floods, the town never fully recovered, ultimately succumbing to a devastating fire in 1882.
