Johnson Studio photos of the original Mackinaw City State Park. The entrance was almost exactly in line with where the Mackinaw Bridge is now and extended east to where the lighthouse is now and westward almost to Fort Michilimackinac. We believe it was created in about 1923.

We have already posted pictures of most of the Johnson Studio's pictures of Cheboygan High School's cheerleaders. we are now posting some pictures of Cheboygan Catholic High Schools.
We are most interested in getting the years of them right, so if you need to correct any, please do not hesitate to Comment about it.

The History Center of Cheboygan County is and has been in the process of preparing the massive collection of the Johnson Studio photos granted so graciously to us by Sue Sullivan Blum. A small portion of what we have finished will soon be displayed on our website cheboyganhistorycenter.org.
These and some of our previous posts will be added to that collection. We hope these wet your appetite for visiting our website. We will notify you when it is available. This grouping is some of the Cheboygan Catholic High School football teams.

Part 2 of 3. A collection of Johnson Studio pictures of CHS cheerleaders.
Unfortunately, they did not have dates on the studio sleeves when received them. If you are sure of the school years, eg. 1967/1968, in your Facebook Comment, we would love for you to enter it in the order they appear on the page in row and column format eg. 2 3; years (both are critical), and whether they are Varsity or Junior Varsity cheerleaders. We will then add that data to the originals here at the History Center. You are welcome to add their names if you wish here after that but is not necessary and will not be recorded by us. This will be a three part post due to the number of pictures. We will post one each day.
