Description
In 1943 Henry Ford purchased this 1911 general store and warehouse in Big Bay, Michigan and converted it to an inn for himself and top Ford executives. Big Bay quickly became a company town when Ford also purchased the sawmill, the power plant, and nearly every other building in town, and opened a new Ford plant. The inn, now named Thunder Bay Inn, was featured in the Jimmy Stewart 1959 film “Anatomy of a Murder” which was based on an actual 1952 Big Bay murder.
