The figure of the White Lake lumber schooner "Ella Ellenwood" which sits at the top of the World's Largest Weathervane was chosen because it best typifies the colorful but rugged history of this region.

The Ellenwood's original dock was situated only a few hundred feet from where the the weathervane is located on the north shore of White Lake.

The saga of the Ella Ellenwood.

Before roads and railroads were built in West Michigan, nearly all commerce and travel was by water.  The lumber industry in Michigan provided the materials for the construction of the Great Lakes cities through ports such as Milwaukee and Chicago.

Montague is a Terrific Town
