"No Ashley, we can't feed the ducks. There is a prophecy that in the 2020s the number of ducks in Charlevoix will be so abundant they will take over the shorelines and parks with their insatiable hunger for bread and French fries." ![]()

Sorry, we found a picture of ducks and couldn't help ourselves. Seriously though, the ducks are fully capable of finding their own food. 🦆🦆🦆 Date and subjects of photo are unknown.
Summer 1968 - Grand opening of K & A Dodge, Inc., the "New place in Charlevoix to cure Dodge fever!" What could you purchase to cure "Dodge fever" you ask? How about a Polara, Monaco, Coronet or the popular Dart and Charger models. Sedan not your style, how about the newly designed Dodge Adventurer pickup?![]()

The dealership was owned by Kenneth DePew and was located at 405 Bridge Street in the old Brown building, last known as the Market Mall before being demolished. Jay's Barber Shop is also seen in the photo. #charlevoix #charlevoixmi #charlevoixmichigan #charlevoixhistory #dodge
From our collection, a campaign button for Charlevoix Township Supervisor Oscar Stroud, reading "Resident of Stroudsville and Proud of It!" Charlevoix Township trustee Don Smith had the buttons made in 1978 as a campaign gimmick, renaming Charlevoix Township after Stroud who had already done so much for the community. The article also mentions a street should be named after Stroud, which did happen years later when a parcel he once owned on the north side was developed. The township hall is also named in his honor. #charlevoix #charlevoixmi #charlevoixmichigan #charlevoixhistory
