Join the White Lake Area Historical Society for its September meeting as we celebrate 100 years of White Lake’s historic Montague-Whitehall Depot!

Built in 1926 by the Pere Marquette Railroad, the Montague-Whitehall Depot replaced separate railroad depots that once served Montague and Whitehall. Today, the historic building is home to the White Lake Area Chamber of Commerce & Visitors Bureau.

The presentation will follow the Depot from its early railroad days through preservation and restoration efforts, its transition into the home of the Chamber, and its continued role in the White Lake community today.

Attendees are also encouraged to share their own memories and pieces of Depot history!
