Lincoln, Michigan

Lincoln MichiganLincoln, Michigan,  Village with a Vision.

"A road bee was held in 1912.  From Bay City to the Straits, eight thousand men with teams, tools, brains and muscle labored and built 263 miles of good roads in a single day.  They were put in condition for all kinds of traffic.  The road came up through Mikado, through Lincoln to Roe Corners and through Spruce toward Alpena."   Just another example of the rich history of these fine small town in Alcona county Michigan.

Lumber was the key industry in this region as it was for many towns in northern Michigan.  Track was laid, that is a the old depot at right, now a museum, and the foundations of the settlement were laid.  Lincoln was originally called West Harrisville.  The village became a trading center and eventually became a major gateway for sportsmen and tourists interested in hunting and fishing.

Today, Lincoln is still thriving while retaining its' small town charm and character and even has its' own energy plant.  Lincoln holds several Events each year and offers a full range of services for new residents and businesses.  You can contact Bethany Styer at the Lincoln Michigan DDA 989-820-7980.
