There are about 40 public free-internet-access terminals in the Traverse City Public Liblrary. No reservations, but you can usually get one immediately, or after a wait of 10-20 minutes. No library card required. The Library is at 8th and Woodmere, which is about a ten block walk from the city center. There is also a lake-shore park behind the library, a thrift-shop across the street, and very pretty librarians.
Driving up Old Mission Penisula, we stopped to see the Old Mission Log Church. It is really a replica of the original Mission that was built in 1840. It was also used as a school for Chippewa Indians.

This Old Mission log Church is just part of this small peninsula town. There's the general store, the Old Mission Inn, the Old Mission Lighthouse, and the Old Mission General Store.
Old Mission village from 1839 until 1852 was the site of a unique experiment created by Presbyterian missionary Peter Dougherty. It consisted of a small colony of teachers, artisans, and farmers [both Indians and non Indians] who all worked side by side.Today, this small village appears to be "frozen in time".
Today, the New England-style Congregations church stands, and it is still occupied. Note the tall white spire. (Photo #3)
It's certainly worth a visit to see this historic place.
We call it Traverse City, but we stayed out of town in Lake Leelanau and spent our entire time on the Leelanau Peninsula. Traverse City is the center of commerce, tourism, buisness and shopping for the peninsula, but it is at the most southern end of it.

Q: Partial week Condo or house rental in July "I'm looking for a 1-2 bedroom place for my family within 15 minutes of Traverse City. I'm finding most rental places seek full..."
A: "Bite the bullet and pay for a week. It still would be less than what any place would charge for 4 nights."
