Foundation-Only Ghost Towns in Michigan

There are 3 foundation-only ghost towns documented in Michigan. Foundation-only sites are where a town once stood and little more — cellar holes, stone footings, and scattered artifacts. They are for history-minded visitors who enjoy reading a landscape.

Notable examples include Clifton, Delaware, Mandan. They cluster most densely in Keweenaw County. 3 of these sites are known to be publicly accessible; for the rest, confirm access with landowners or managing agencies first.
