1940 Indian Village St. Ignace Michigan

This vintage postcard captures the vibrant roadside charm of the Indian Village in St. Ignace, Michigan—a beloved tourist stop overlooking the shimmering waters of Lake Huron. Teepees and a long rustic building marked by the bold “Indian Village” sign stretch across the scene, framed by classic cars of the era, a tree-lined backdrop, and a soft sky tinged with blue and pink. The peaceful waterfront setting on Lake Huron hints at deeper history.

Opened in 1927 by photographer C.C. Eby, the Indian Village was a cultural attraction built to honor and share Native American heritage. Situated on the very spot where Father Marquette arrived in 1671 to found his mission among the Chippewa and Ottawa, the site brought history to life through live demonstrations and handcrafted goods made by Ojibwa families who lived and worked there in the summer months. 

This postcard would look great framed, make a wonderful host or hostess gift, or make an excellent addition to any collection.
