The Roadside Table Historic Site ~ 6895-6973 Grand River Avenue, Saranac MI

Back in 1929, a man named Allan Williams built a table out of salvaged wood and placed it here for travelers. Some say it was the state's and/or nation's, first roadside table. This place was a cool find but alas, there is currently not a table here. The pull-off area is also on the edge of a gully and seems to be an ill advised place to let your children out of the car to run around.
Any exploration is discouraged.
Nonetheless, if we see a historic marker, you can be sure we will pull over to check it out, even if there's not a table at which to sit 😉
