Stationery Saturday: Summer Travels

The images above are the front, back and some close-ups of the stationery for the Upper Peninsula Development Bureau of Michigan from 1945. The Upper Peninsula or the UP remains a prime tourist destination throughout the seasons. The Peninsula borders Wisconsin on the west and has Lake Superior on the north and Lake Michigan on the south. If you enjoy hiking, boating, fishing, skiing, or just enjoying nature from the deck of a cabin in the woods, the UP has it all. 

This comes from the Wilhelmine D. La Budde Papers, 1924-1956 (Milw Mss BC). As a conservationist and a member of the Wisconsin Division of the Isaac Walton League of America Mrs. Edward La Budde worked very hard to protect the forests of the upper Midwest. One of the many campaigns she was involved in was saving the old growth hardwood forests of the Porcupine Mountains.

What a view! The blue-green waters of Lake Superior stretch out from the dramatic cliffs at Pictured Rocks National Lakeshore in Michigan. Lake Superior is the largest, coldest and most pristine of the Great Lakes. It has the largest surface of any freshwater lake on Earth and it is the third largest lake by volume. Storms, snow, fog, humidity, temperatures and wind generated from the lake impact every park ecosystem, causing dramatic seasonal changes. The multicolored cliffs that give the park its name rise 200 feet above the lake’s turquoise waters in some places, promising amazing views. Photo by National Park Service.
