Once known as Bois Blanc ("White Woods") for the white birch trees, which blanket the island, Bob-Lo has a uniquely interesting arhitectual hertiage as well as a natural one. On the southern half of the island is one of three surviving military blockhouses dating back to the war of 1812, as well as the 19th century lighthouse built to help ships navigate the mouth of Lake Erie.
The most impressive landmark of all is the stunning stone Dance Pavilion, which was commmissioned by Henry Ford. Here, live mousic filled the air from the biggest bands of the 40s and 50s, right up to the legendary Motown acts of the 60s and 70s.
Now, another great page is about to turn in the architectural heritage of Bois Blanc.
