Why this spot

1838 Latter Day Saint settlement, later Cravensville

Latter Day Saints settled here in 1838 around Lyman Wight's home and Grand River ferry, regarding it as a sacred site, but were given ten days to leave in November 1838 during the Mormon War. The site was renamed Cravensville and saw a Civil War skirmish in August 1862.View source →
