A Nod to Historic Charlevoix
Stuff We Love
May 17, 2025
For 22 years, the State Historic Preservation Office has honored achievements in preserving places and stories across Michigan with the Governor’s Awards for Historic Preservation. This year, one of the awards came home to Charlevoix! The Charlevoix Historical Society (CHS) got the nod for their tireless work to protect, restore, and reimagine three local landmarks: the 1892-built Harsha House, the 1892-built Chicago & West Michigan Railroad depot, and the 1948 Charlevoix South Pier Lighthouse. Of course, CHS couldn’t do it without the help of some friends, and the full list of awardees includes Freshwater Charch: a Design Build Firm; Smay Trombley Architecture; Richard Neumann Architect; Steven C. Seebohm Historic Paint Consultation; and the City of Charlevoix. Learn more about CHS’s ongoing projects and the history of Charlevoix at chxhistory.com.
