From Civil War-era origins to the modern day, the Smith-Culhane House in Port Austin stands as a quiet witness to Michigan's evolving story. In this episode of End of the Road in Michigan, we visit the historic Victorian home at the tip of the Thumb. Once a grand residence during the lumber boom, the home later transformed into a B&B and has now returned to private ownership. Join us as we explore the home's architecture, its many roles, and the lives of those who shaped its legacy.

The Smith-Culhane House, a 150-year-old Victorian home in Port Austin, Michigan, reflects the region’s lumber boom heritage. Once a family residence, it now serves as a private home after being revived into a Bed and Breakfast, preserving local history and architecture.
