Herron

Michigan's ghost towns are copper and iron towns of the Upper Peninsula, plus lumber camps the pine barons abandoned.

David Leon Herron Jr. (born June 17, 1984) is an American former professional football player who was a linebacker in the National Football League (NFL). He played football at Warren G. Harding High School and college football for the Michigan State Spartans. He was signed by the Minnesota Vikings as an undrafted free agent in 2007. Herron was also a member of the New England Patriots, Kansas City Chiefs, San Diego Chargers, New York Jets, and Las Vegas Locomotives. He is the older brother of former Indianapolis Colts backup running back Daniel Herron.

The on-the-ground condition of Herron is unverified — it's listed here with unknown status. That could mean standing buildings, or an empty field. Go prepared for either, and consider sharing what you find so the record improves.

Nobody has confirmed the access situation, so treat any visit as reconnaissance: verify land ownership first, and be ready to admire from the road.

Here's the honest truth: access to Herron is unverified. We couldn't confirm whether the site sits on public land, private property, or something in between — so verify land ownership and local rules before visiting, and respect private property at all times. The mapped point for Herron is roughly 45.0231, -83.6469 — use it as a starting point and cross-reference a current topographic map before leaving pavement.

Ghost-town etiquette is simple: take only photographs. Removing artifacts is illegal on public lands and disrespectful everywhere else — and on federal land it can be a serious offense.
