This newly established library brings one more thing to love about this little town. Stop at the Backroom Bakery & Ice Cream Shop just to your north and grab ice cream, a pie, cheesecake, or a Channing bar (frozen chocolate dipped cheesecake on a stick) YUMMY!!!!!
Channing began as a railroad junction called Ford Siding (due to its location on the Ford River). In 1892, a post office was established and named Channing, after John Parke Channing, a mining engineer who had surveyed the area. The post office continues to serve ZIP code 49815.
