"TravelTalks" about Michigan in 1949



My cousin, Joe, mentioned this 9 minute short tourism documentary about Northern Michigan to me. It was filmed in 1949 as part of James A. Fitzpatrick's "TravelTalks" series produced by MGM. Includes footage of Spikehorn Meyer, Sleeping Bear Sand Dunes, Mackinac Island, Traverse City, and the UP. See the Straits of Mackinac before the Mighty Mac bridge connected Michigan's peninsulas.

Fascinating.
