1. Little Stone Church Marker
The Union Congregational Church, affectionately called Little Stone Church, was established in 1900 by eleven charter members. Local residents and summer visitors donated funds for its construction. The cornerstone was laid on August 2, 1904. This structure was built of Mackinac Island stones in an eclectic Gothic style. Its handsome stained glass windows, installed in 1914, tell the story of the Protestant movement on the Island. Open only during the summer, the church has been a landmark to visitors and a popular wedding site.
Erected 1978 by Michigan History Division. (Marker Number 644.)
