The Shrine of the Pines - Baldwin, Michigan

chair of roots so well balanced that one push will set it to rocking 50+
times, a fireplace made of 70 tons of stone a gun rack with 39 wooden
ball bearings and much more. The museum sits on the Pere Marquette
river and the setting is perfect for this timeless display from another
era. The contents of this Michigan treasure are the life work of

incredible rustic work.
