Port Oneida Rural Historic District

The rolling hills and idyllic landscape of Port Oneida have remained relatively unchanged since the turn of the 20th century. Most of the houses appear much as they did in the last century with only minor changes or “modernization.” Through this well-preserved rural landscape, we can catch glimpses of a rural community’s hard work and struggle to farm the land and provide for and raise their families. These historic properties are being preserved by Lakeshore and its partner Preserve Historic Sleeping Bear.
