Pioneer Trail Park Heritage
In early times, Indians and missionaries were known to have visited the area. About 1844, a sawmill was built (where the dam now stands) just west of the park. In 1851, that sawmill was sold to the Nelson Ludington Company and fostered a small settlement.
The hard life of these early pioneers ended at their burial ground on the ridge that was later included in Pioneer Trail Park. The sawmill grew into one of the nation’s largest mills, the I. Stephenson Company.
This company expanded by moving downstream to the mouth of the Escanaba River. The I. Stephenson Company, from its earlier land holdings along the lower River, sold the Pioneer Trail Park land to the County of Delta.
“In 1927 a system (County Parks) was set up. It then became the duty of the trustees to improve these parks, build roads and trails, provide approved drinking water, tables and fireplaces.” (R.P.Mason, 1943)
In a contest for all the schools’ children, the name Pioneer Trail was chosen from 380 entries, to memorialize those early pioneers who passed this way. The entry was submitted by a young, John Bloomstrom.
