In the early 1900s, Sidnaw became a major center of Henry Ford’s vast logging operations, where Ford developed one of the most advanced lumber camps of its time deep within the north woods. Henry Ford, Thomas Edison, and Harvey Firestone were known to visit the area during this era. Later, during World War II, nearby Camp Sidnaw housed German POWs who worked within the regional timber industry. Today, the area has transitioned into a peaceful recreational destination rich with history, natural beauty, and public land access.   -  Located within a quiet recreational development created from an original 80-acre tract, this wooded parcel offers gradually sloping terrain, mixed shoreline, within a true Federal Forest setting.
