Ghost towns of the U.P. explored

There are many “lost” and abandoned towns in Michigan, remnants of better economic times. This look at some of those ghost towns shows a picture of the state’s history.
 
Excerpt: Some of the abandoned towns that dot Michigan’s landscape from the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula to the Ohio and Indiana state lines are no more than outlines of foundations or a few weathered cemetery headstones. A few, like Fayette, are preserved as historical sites. Others still have a handful of homes.
 
All speak to boom-and-bust cycles in Michigan’s history.
