This is a wonderful little local, smoked fish store. Its ramshackle, rustic ambiance adds to the experience. After picking up some smoked whitefish, and then a burger, fries, and malt from Clyde's Drive-in; we went to Bridgeview Park and had a wonderful picnic (with the seagulls enjoying the fish skin, almost as much as we did the meat). This was one of the best meals we had during our trip. The fish was so good, one could even forgive the Packers' orientation to the fish market (being Bears & Colts fans ourselves). We look forward to a return visit to Manley's, on our next trip to the area. We would definitely like trying the smoked salmon and trout (both being sold out when we stopped in).

Horn's Odds & Ends! Antique and Thrift store. Open Every Day 9am-6pm.
Reviewed By RICART75 - Peru, United States
We stopped in and enjoyed exploring the large selection of memorabilia, antiques and general hodgepodge housed within. This is an old-school shop (in age and ambiance); where one has to sometimes slide sideways between crowded isles, not to knock down a stack or pile of items. The staff person was friendly, and willing to haggle on some "must-haves" we discovered. Never knowing what one may find; this is one of those places that make the "hunt" so addicting.

Located within the museum is the McKenney & Hall Gallery, a stunning showcase featuring digtal imiages of Native American dignitaries from the early 1800s who visited Washington D.C. The oil portraits were destroyed by fire in 1865, but thanks to the foresight of Thomas McKenney, head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs at that time, lithographs had been created and preserved the images for the future. The complete set of copies of 120 portraits hang in the gallery. Admission to museum is by donation. Visit our webpage for current events and hours of operation and current .

This was the best tasting fudge we have ever had in the area. Their prices are great and the lady working was very pleasant. I especially like the hours they are open. We were able to grab some fudge before we left town in the morning.

The place grabs you from the street, cute and eye-catching but it is the smell that wafts through the door that forces you to cross the threshold. So many things to love Coming from Connecticut, I had no idea that the upper Peninsula of Michigan was fresh fudge central. Grateful for it at the moment, but was a surprise. The fudge case on the right was what I saw first — there are many varieties to choose from but I pointed out the basic chocolate, basic vanilla, and the mint chocolate chip to put in the take-home box. All three were sweet and absolutely smooth; nothing worse than lumpy or gritty fudge. Heavy in weight but light on the tongue and rich in flavor. Took a few of the separate chocolates to try as well; all were incredibly fresh and delicious. The chocolate covered Oreos and the chocolate covered toffee were especially notable. The lovely sales associate was extremely pleasant and inviting, and offered a bit of local history when inquiries were made to some of the stones available on the counter. Besides for the sweet offerings, this venue is a small gift shop with boxed treats in back such as salt water taffy and fresh popcorn in bags in front. We will be back for more
