Geocache Description:

Glass River was located in Section 20 & 21 in Antrim Twp. The Post Office was opened in the home of the first postmaster, John Sears on May 1, 1851 and was named Antrim after the township. It was renamed Glass River on March 17, 1868, after the Looking Glass River which runs the length of the township. The Post Office closed on Sept. 13, 1888 and all that remains is the old General Store Building and the Cemetery. [This area is considered a Michigan Ghost Town]
