Arriving at night on rural highway 115, a lighted archway beckons all travelers to the cozy, self-sufficient city of Frankfort. Because of its location at the mouth of Betsie Bay and Lake Michigan, the town delivers a fascinating history of marine adventure, life, and pride. A year-round population of approximately 1,600 residents, Frankfort has a strong artistic culture, a vibrant past, and the innate aesthetics of a harbor port. It is easy to forget time and worries while watching fishing vessels come in and out of the marina or checking the horizon for freighters. It boasts many businesses of necessity such as a hospital, drugstore, grocery store, and hardware stores, but also thrives with a local theatre, bookstore, art and gallery shops, and a satisfying range of restaurants. Elegant, Victorian homes that were originally built by lumbermen grace the streets with beauty and ghostly tales. The rarity of being able to comfortably walk to anything you need or want, from postage stamps to ice cream, is a sweet treat indeed.
