Cities and Towns - Pequaming

Historic Sites, Human Settlements, Buildings, Dwellings, Housing, Single Family Pequaming is a quiet place these days. Few people visit the once active Hebbard and Ford sawmill site except on Sunday when motorists ribbon their way to the location for observation and retrospect. Only a few families live in the hamlet now. At one time over 64 houses were occupied with workers who were on the employment lists of either the Hebbard or Ford mill. One of the small frame grade school buildings has been removed from the hamlet. It now is being used at the Celotex site at LAnse. The other schools, three in number, still attest that Fords scheme of education was in vogue during the period his firm operated the mill. Pequaming is considered one of the more desirable scenic spots in the Upper Peninsula. The big mill site is under the Lawrence Walsh interest. The DesLaurier family still resides in the community.
