Benzie County Ghost Towns Series #3 of 22
Benzie County had a plethora of small communities, especially during the early lumber boom. Each Cache in this Series is near where a Post Office use to operate.
Bendon had stores, shops, a hotel, railroad yard, hardware store, boarding houses, mill and more.....all that's left is a cool old church, sawmill & hardware shop, and some houses. No more businesses. The post office shut down in 1954 and from there, the establishments slowly closed down.
Some call it a 'shadow town', others a 'ghost town'...it's your call.
