Shortly before Ernest Hemingway was born, the Hemingway family first traveled to northern Michigan in 1898 and settled in Walloon Lake (then known as Tolcatt). The family bought several plots of land around Walloon Lake, and in 1900, they built a cottage they called Windmere on the northern shores of the lake.
Even as an infant, Ernest traveled to the area with his family, and this cottage would serve as Ernest's summertime boyhood home, as the family still resided in Chicago. They would travel by ship several times a year to their summer cottage, which was a very difficult and lengthy trip at the time.
While in northern Michigan every summer, a young Hemingway would spend most of his time fishing, swimming, tending to the family farm, camping, and eventually finding an interest in writing. As a teenager, he would travel independently and often spent his time in Walloon Lake, Horton Bay, and the surrounding area.
He would also begin making the trip by automobile. In 1921, he married his first wife Hadley Richardson in Horton Bay. Soon after, they left the area and never returned, although he returned at one point in 1951. His time spent in northern Michigan greatly influenced his future writings.Hemingway's The Nick Adams Stories and its main character were heavily influenced by his adventures and experiences in northern Michigan.
Some of his boyhood friends also served as models for many of his characters. Although he lived and traveled all over the world, Hemingway's connection and experiences in the area remained prevalent in his writings. On November 24, 1968, the family cottage in Resort Township was listed on the National Register of Historic Places as a National Historic Landmark—one of only 43 historic landmarks in the state.
Hemingway's presence in Walloon Lake was dedicated as a Michigan State Historic Site in 2010 and commemorated with a dual-sided historic marker in Melrose Park in the center of the community.
