WHAT I HAVE HERE ARE 6 REAL PHOTO POSTCARDS ONE IS DATED 1908, THE OTHERS ARE NOT DATED...HOWEVER THEY ARE ALL FROM THAT ERA. THIS IS A BEAUTIFUL LOOK BACK IN TIME TO WHAT WAS ONCE A GREAT YWCA GETAWAY. PLEASE EXAMINE PICTURES BEFORE BIDDING. THANK YOU. Epworth Heights was founded in 1894 by Justus Smith Stearns and others. [1 ] It began as a Methodist Chautauqua -style family camping experience on the shores of Lake Michigan . There was to be a two-week program of entertainment and spiritual teaching to benefit the Ludington area residents. An agreement between the Citizen's Development Company of Ludington and the Epworth League Assembly of Big Rapids was signed on May 6 of that year. By mid-July, a mere ten weeks later, the Hotel, Auditorium and classrooms that had been hastily built were ready for the first two-week session. Families camped in tents on the sandy beaches and enjoyed the programming as well as the lakeside vistas.
