Michael's
Bay Historical Society
is
a not for profit organization dedicated to preserving
the history and artifacts of the Michael's Bay ghost
town located in Tehkummah township on beautiful
Manitoulin Island. We wish to preserve the history and
artifacts for all of our citizens and visitors to
enjoy and to educate others about Manitoulin's first
permanent settlement.
Our goal is to protect the town site, which includes
several cemeteries from commercial or residential
development. Tehkummah Township governance
has indicated it's willingness to help with
preservation efforts.
Ultimately, we hope to purchase the town site property
from the current owners who wish to develop it. The
property in question is currently owned by foreign investors
and we are confident that in time, a mutual agreement
may be reached for the benefit of both parties.
