Before Charlevoix was known for yachts and fudge shops, it had a half-ton bell, stained glass older than your grandma, and a church that dared to rock Stick Style architecture. In this episode, we uncover the story behind the First Congregational Church, built in 1885, expanded with bake sale proceeds, and still standing proud. From the women who raised the funds to the Michigan copper in its bell, this church isn’t just a place of worship; it’s a living museum of northern Michigan grit.
