Following the success of the Northern Michigan and West Michigan almanacs comes the Upper Peninsula Almanac---a comprehensive guide for every resident, visitor, and student of Michigan's Upper Peninsula.
The Upper Peninsula Almanac covers every acre of the UP, including information on businesses, tourism, agriculture, sports, weather, casinos, and other topics that will keep you referring to the book time and again. Looking for record snowfalls and temperatures? Oldest business? Busiest tourist spots? Most interesting myths and legends? The Upper Peninsula Almanac has it all.
