Friends Fund Painting of Historic Home

Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite is pleased to notify all who enjoy Fayette that building #7, which is located next to the old Hotel, has been professionally painted in the historically correct colors.  Funding has been provided by the Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite through  generous donations.  We thank Brenn Kurth Contracting for his skill and attention to detail.



We also expect to have building #3, which is located on the hill across from the Superintendent's home, painted sometime in September.  We are excited about this exterior restoration work.  It is a step in the right direction, and the Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite are thankful to have the funds available for these projects.  Thank you to the donors and all who support our efforts at Fayette.



Please keep in mind, there are over 20 historic buildings at the Company Townsite of Fayette and they are constantly in need of care.  The Friends of Fayette Historic Townsite offer special thanks to the park staff and look forward to opportunities to help fund needed projects that will insure Fayette for posterity.

 Barge conducts soil borings.

        Exciting news for Fayette Snail Shell Harbor started today, 8/13/12.  In preparing for needed upgrades at the harbor, Coleman Engineering Company of Iron Mountain, Michigan will conduct soil borings on the harbor bottom.  This will not cause any closures but may result in delays for harbor traffic.  The improvement will result in the replacement of the current floating dock system.  Funds for this project will come from the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's Boating Infrastructure Grant Program.  This preparation will end on 8/17/12.
