Bay View is a jewel box of a Northern Michigan Chautauqua community along the shores of Little Traverse Bay; southwest of the Mackinac Bridge. Founded in 1875 and now a National Historic Landmark; its 31 public buildings and 450 cottages are among the most pristine examples of 1900-era High Victorian architecture in the United States. Historical photographs capture the fascinating journey via rail and Great Lakes steamer to the early campgroundrsquo;s beech-forested hillside. Rare images trace its path from a wilderness Methodist campground to a vibrant embodiment of Chautauquarsquo;s four pillars: the arts; education; recreation; and religion. Building on the Camp Meeting and Chautauqua traditions; the founders forged a unique lifestyle that ends every November only to resume with renewed energy every April. The turrets; towers; and gingerbread of this timeless Brigadoon excite the imagination today just as they did more than 135 years ago.

1 of 1 people found the following review helpful. Not worth the money.By Kristle PipgrasI made it through the first chapter and skimmed a few others but I wasnt very impressed with this book. There are not a lot of visuals and its in black and white which I think is odd for an art book. It had some good information but most of it was information I already knew and/or that is common sense. Id invest your money elsewhere.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.
