Grand Haven
The interurban's Grand Haven depot was located south east of the Grand Trunk Western depot which is show in the picture below.

The interurban's route through downtown Grand Haven was difficult to pin point but I finally was able to get it done. It ran along the center of Washington ave until it reached Water St. (Now N. Harbor Dr.) At Water St. it it turned to the south and continued along the East side of the road. Still staying along Water Street it crossed the Grand Trunk Western tracks to the west side of the street just after Clinton St. From there it continued along Water street till it reached Highland Park.

The Cache is located at the Grand Trunk Western depot but, that is NOT the interurban depot. The depot & freight house were located on the South corner of Washington and N. Harbor Dr. Currently, the Kirby House Restaurant is located on the site.
The Cache has been placed at the Grand Trunk Western Depot with permission of the Museum.
Cache is a small lock n lock.
ENJOY!!!!
