 The Lakeshore Driftwood for 1976 is a blend which includes a past, a today, and a future. Bits of our past may be discovered in stories and pictures here in this book. Most of the book deals with this year, but a future may also be glimpsed in these pages. This future relies on the graduates of Lake- shore High School. Two hundred years ago the school district was covered by marshes and huge pine forests, inhabited only by Indians and a few fur traders. The villages and roads were nearly a hundred years away. But after America won her Independ- ence, people began moving west and by 1836 our district began to attract settlers. Lincoln Township was one of the first townships to be settled. In 1836, Major Timothy Smith platted several lots at the mouth of the Grand Marais (Grand Mere) and called the new town Liverpool. His dream was to improve the existing water power and to use the power to cut lumber from large pine forests that lined the lake shore. Major Smith's town of Liverpool never materialized and even though the town was later renamed Blooming Grove, the second attempt also failed. In 1867, T.W. Dunham started a large mill in the Grand Marais and erected a pier on Lake Michigan to load schooners. In the same area an ice house was operated and large quantities of cranberries were harvested and shipped from the marshes. As the first settlers were moving into Lincoln Township, they found it necessary to plank the roads with wooden boards and all of them agreed that Lincoln Avenue would be impossible to build. Until 1863, the soil in Lincoln and surrounding townships was regarded as unfit for orchards. However, the wastelands of the town- ships were transformed into productive orchards and fields.
