By 1660 a branch of the <a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/sault_ste__marie__michigan_sugar_island.html" target="_top">Sugar Island</a> Band of Ojibwa had come here to fish. In that year they were joined by a French Jesuit priest hoping to save their souls. He built the first mission here. L'Anse, pronounced "LAHNce," is French for "the bay." The settlement later became a trading post and, in 1871, a station on the railroad line between Houghton and Marquette. With the <B>railroad</B>, the <B>port</B>, and <B>trees to be logged</B> in most directions, L'Anse boomed briefly in the 1870s before the national economy went into a tailspin. A good, short county history is online at <a target="_top" href="http://www.baragacountyhistoricalmuseum.com">www.baragacountyhistoricalmuseum.com</a> . Lots of Baraga County historical photos are in one section of Clyde Elmblad's interesting site, <a target="_top" href="http:/highway41north.com">highway41north.com<a> .<br><br><center> <table cellpadding=3 cellspacing=0 border=0 width=419> <tr> <td> <img src="http://hunts-upguide.com/photos/410.gif" width=419 height=140 alt="Celotex" border=0> </td> </tr> <tr> <td> <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" size="-2"> <b>L'Anse's most visible landmark is the factory of its chief employer, Celotex ceiling tile manufacturer, now part of BPB.

In L'Anse, the really large church building, from around 1900, is the impressive stone Sacred Heart Catholic Church, halfway up the Broad Street hill as you enter town. A cluster of interesting Protestant church buildings is up the Main Street hill. To get there, go downtown, then turn right onto Main Street. <br><br>A sawmill capitalized on the waterpower of the Falls River making a steep descent into Keweenaw Bay at L'Anse. The mill was already large when <B>Henry Ford</B> bought it in 1922, a time when <B>automobile bodies</B> were largely made of <B>wood</B>. The mill and Ford forests employed a thousand, according to Ford Bryan in<I> <U>Beyond the Model T: The Other Ventures of Henry Ford</U></I>. The mill shipped as much as 180,000 board feet of lumber a day to its Iron Mountain parts plant. Bryan details a busy, crowded area by the mill and waterfront, with lumber yards "as large as any known," decked logs by today's <a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/l_anse_front_street_park.html" target="_top">Front Street Park</a>, a railroad yard, <B>derricks for loading the freighters</B> that docked here, aided by steam tugs. Ford financed L'Anse's unusually impressive high school building up the hill off Fourth Street, now enlarged for grades K-12. <BR><br><BR><br>After Ford sold off its Upper Peninsula property, the mill was bought by <B>Celotex </B>to make <B>ceiling tiles</B>. The plant is now part of BPB, a large British-owned conglomerate. It still makes ceiling tiles, using mineral wool instead of wood pulp, and its <B>stack</B> is still a <B>landmark</B> visible most of the way up the Keweenaw Peninsula. Today the ceiling tile plant, the prison outside Baraga, and the Baraga casino are the area's largest employers. Some people commute to the Tilden and Empire iron mines outside Ishpeming, 60 miles away. In 2005 a good deal of the Baraga County timberland once owned by Ford has been purchased for further exploration by Kennecott Minerals, the firm that wants a controversial nickel sulfide mine near the Yellow Dog River blue ribbon trout stream. <br><br>Today the L'Anse harbor is again active, dredged for the recent <B>municipal marina</B>. It can handle the biggest <a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/munising_lake_superior.html" target="_top">Lake Superior</a> pleasure boats, up to 40'. <B>Keweenaw Bay</B> is "the <B>lake trout capital</B> of the Great Lakes," said to have twice the lake trout population as anywhere else. Now <B>sport fishing</B> has replaced commercial fishing in the local economy, partly from visitors, partly in the form of second homes. <B><a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/l_anse_indian_country_sports.html" target="_top">Indian Country Sports</a></B>, a good source of information about outdoor recreation in the area, has built a functioning lighthouse to publicize its business and the waterfront.<br><br>East of L'Anse Bay the topography quickly climbs to Michigan's highest elevations in the <B>Huron Mountains</B>, creating a number of scenic <B>waterfalls</B> in the process. <B><a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/l_anse_mount_arvon.html" target="_top">Mount Arvon</a></B>, 1,979 feet, is <B>Michigan's high point</B>. The Huron Mountains are eroded stumps of ancient mountains once higher than the Rockies. Today they seem more like hills. <a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/l_anse_mount_arvon.html" target="_top">Mount Arvon</a> offers no view; it's a tourist destination just so people can say they have visited Michigan's highest point. Members of the Highpointers Club ( <a target="_top" href="http://www.highpointers.org">www.highpointers.org</a> ) come from afar in their quests to visit high points of every state. The Baraga County Tourist office is the best source of up-to-date information on getting to <a href="http://hunts-upguide.com/l_anse_mount_arvon.html" target="_top">Mount Arvon</a> (logging rods change) and to all the waterfalls open to the public. Just west of town are the red rock bluffs of Jacobsville sandstone, also known as brownstone, a favorite late 19th-century building material quarried here as well as the better-known quarries at Jacobsville on the Keweenaw Peninsula and near Marquette. <br clear="all"> <hr> <center> <script type="text/javascript"> </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://pagead2.googlesyndication.com/pagead/show_ads.js"> </script> </center> <hr> <p align="right"><a href="keweenaw_peninsula.html" target="_top">Back to Keweenaw Peninsula</a></p> </font> </td> </tr> </table> </td> <td width="37%" valign="top"> <table width="100%" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=8 border=0> <tr> <td height="4" width="37%">  <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=1 alt="-"></td> </tr> <tr> <td valign="top" align="center" bgcolor="#C7302D" width="37%">  <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica" color="#FFFFFF"> <b> <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=8 alt="-"><br> <font size="-1"> L'ANSE<br> RESTAURANTS,<br> LODGINGS<br> & CAMPGROUNDS </font> <br><img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=6 alt="-"><br> <font size="-2">These are our choices, not ads.</font><br> <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=8 alt="-"><br> </b> </font> </td> </tr> <tr> <td valign=top bgcolor="#FFE09B" width="37%">  <img src="images/1x1.gif" width=15 height=9 alt="-"><br> <font face="Verdana,Arial,Helvetica"> <center><font size="-1" color="#C82F2C"><b>L'ANSE<br>RESTAURANTS</b></font></center> <br> <font size="-2"> See also: Baraga, Keweenaw Bay.<br>This thinly populated L'Anse/Baraga area is not, in our opinion, a spawning ground for good restaurants.

The one dinner place that gets consistent high marks is <B>Carla's</B> in Keweenaw Bay with fresh fish and a lake view, but its hours are limited for much of the year. The <B>Best Western Lakeside</B> in Baraga has a beautiful view. We found consistency was a problem in 2004, but that was last year. The great salad bar is gone at <B>Tony's Steakhouse</B>.

It's not smoky, and it's not only for gamblers. It also serves as a neighborhood café. It's open for breakfast through dinner. Restaurant management changes frequently, so it's hard to be too specific for 2005. Usually the food has been adequate or better, sometimes much better. No alcohol.

A hot beef sandwich and hamburger on a visit in 2004 confirmed what many local people say: when it comes to the food, Hilltop is more expensive but in our opinion no better than Shabee's downtown. And the people-watching isn't as good. We found Hilltop's potatoes and gravy second-rate.
