Jordan Art Walk www.jordanartwalk.org
The Jordan Art Walk is a series of sculptures strategically placed throughout the downtown community, integrated with the beautiful ‘Joining Jordan Boardwalk.’ The project began in 2021 and sculptures have been added each year - some for sale, some not. Beginning in 2023, those sculptures that were not permanent pieces in the Art Walk were then rotated out so that the Art Walk is now an evolving exhibit.
The Art Walk is also your chance to get outside, exercise, and enjoy East Jordan's natural beauty. Our brochure provides the distance between each sculpture, both distance and steps. Walk the full path and travel over 1/2 mile!
So, pick up a brochure!

As Northern Michigan’s champions of classical chamber music, it is our mission to entertain, to inspire and to educate. With a vast variety of concert themes, we highlight the most classic of traditional composers to the most innovative of today’s contemporaries - we truly have something for everyone! www.glcorchestra.org
OUR HISTORY
Three Multi-Generational Family-Owned Industries!
East Jordan Plastics
It all started four generations ago (1947) when Ken and Shirley Diller founded East Jordan Box & Crate Co. to produce wooden greenhouse flats for bedding plant growers in the Midwest. From those wooden flats to today's comprehensive line of sustainable plastic plant containers, East Jordan Plastics remains committed to the only industry it has ever served - horticulture.
EJ
Established in 1883 on the shores of Lake Charlevoix, by William Malpass and Richard Round, East Jordan Iron Works began as a foundry supporting the local logging industry. The company adapted from producing lumber-related castings to becoming an international leader in infrastructure access solutions- now branded as EJ - under four generations of Malpass family leadership.
Burnette Foods
In 1935, when Mae and Theodore Sherman decided to purchase their first cherry orchard in Central Lake, Michigan, little did they know the impact it would have on their families. Or, the future of food production. Eventually, William (son of Theodore) and his wife Marian Sherman relocated from Ohio, to purchase their own cherry orchard in East Jordan. Sherman Canning Company was established in 1961 and a family tradition was born. Today, the third generation has expanded this simple beginning into Burnette Foods, a locally and nationally sourced distributer of fruit and vegetables with production facilities throughout the state of Michigan.
East Jordan Historical Society Museum
Downtown East Jordan at City Hall - 201 Main St.
This downtown museum is open during regular City Hall hours and during East Jordan’s many summer events. Stop by to see the exhibits and purchase our re-published “East Jordan Remembers: A Collection of Stories About East Jordan’s Past.” Admission price is donation only.

Spirit of America
Sculpture
This new sculpture, made from the flag that once adorned the Historic East Jordan Foundry, honors generations of EJ employees and the spirit of American manufacturing. Created in collaboration with EJHS welding students, EJ team members, and community partners.
OUR HISTORY
EJ & S Railroad - Engine No. 6
East Jordan & Southern RR's Engine No. 6, built in 1909 and retired in 1961, now resides in Sportsman's Park. Karen Walker & the East Jordan Historical Society produced this book, the proceeds of which support the care & preservation of the train.
Castle Farms - M-66, Charlevoix
Castle Farms is one of Michigan’s premier historic attractions and wedding venues. This beautiful French Renaissance castle, built in 1918, features soaring stone towers, romantic courtyards and magnificent gardens, plus Norm, the Castle’s very own dragon! Museum-quality collections showcased throughout the Castle include antique toys, castles, and royalty memorabilia from around the world. The Outdoor Model Railroad is the largest in Michigan, with 68 G-scale trains steaming across more than 1/2 mile of track. The Castle is also the perfect venue for weddings, proms, corporate events, or private parties. www.castlefarms.com
Happy 100th, Ironton Ferry!
Ironton Ferry - M-66, Ironton
The Ironton Ferry began operation in 1876. At first, the operator took individual passengers across Lake Charlevoix in a rowboat. After about four years, the rowboat was replaced by a ferry that was powered by horses. The ferry acquired nationwide fame in 1936, when Ripley's Believe it or Not! listed the Ironton Ferry's Captain Sam Alexander for travelling 15,000 miles while never being more than 1,000 feet from his home.

When the Scheer family purchased the property in 2012, the once rustic barn was transformed into a stunning wedding and event venue. www.jordanvalleybarn.com
Jordan River National Fish Hatchery

The Hatchery, founded in 1965, currently raises cisco, lake trout and rainbow trout. It produces more than 3 million fish annually and visitors can see fish from the egg stage to adult.

Visitors may also enjoy the station’s picnic area, pollinator garden, and easy access to the beautiful Jordan River Valley. www.fws.gov/Midwest/JordanRiver
NATURE
The Jordan River
The 24.9-mile-long Jordan River is the largest tributary of Lake Charlevoix. Its headwaters rise from springs in the upper Jordan River Valley northeast of Mancelona in Antrim County. The Jordan River was the first river to be designated in Michigan's Natural Rivers Program and is well known for its world-class brook trout fishing and scenic canoe, kayak and raft trips. The river is accessible by many roads & trails.
Lake Charlevoix
Lake Charlevoix was once voted the second best lake in America in a USA Today poll, behind only Lake Tahoe. Being awarded this honor is partly due to the many forms of recreation the lake provides, including swimming, kayaking, sailing, fishing, diving, boating, water skiing, and just relaxing on the beach. Lake Charlevoix is also one of Michigan’s largest and most magnificent lakes. It is the 3rd largest lake in the state in terms of surface area, but its shoreline length far exceeds that of any other inland lake in Michigan. If you kayak the entire shoreline of Lake Charlevoix, you will have traversed 60 miles!
Chain of Lakes Water Trail
The Chain of Lakes Water Trail is one of only eight state-designated water trails and the only water trail in Northern Michigan. This water trail has over 80 miles of routes to explore and something for all types of paddlers. It was recently named the first Pure Michigan Water Trail.
The Upper Chain is made up of smaller lakes and is a great experience for beginner paddlers. Begin, end or pass through three lakeside communities - Ellsworth, Central Lake, and Bellairewhere you will find food, camping, and all the other amenities.
The Lower Chain includes larger lakes like Torch Lake and Elk Lake for experienced paddlers. Explore the Grass River Natural Area, find a sunken ship, or just enjoy the turquoise waters of Torch Lake. In Bellaire, Alden, and Elk Rapids you will find all you need to enjoy your time on the water.
Don't forget Paddle Antrim Sept. 18-20 www.paddleantrim.com

More Upcoming Birthdays!
Jordan Valley Rehab (Mary Free Bed at Munson Healthcare - Jordan Valley) Celebrating 25 years in July, most of which have been in the historically renovated Main Street Center. Happy Birthday!
Black Birch Design + Build & The Depot Jordan Valley Teen Center will both be celebrating 10 years early in 2027! Congratulations!
BIRTHDAYS!
Happy 50th Birthday, East Jordan Family Health Center!
Founded in 1976, the Health Center began as a grassroots response to a critical need for primary care in East Jordan after local physicians were no longer available. What started as a small clinic in a rented storefront quickly grew into a trusted community institution, built through bake sales, donated bonds, federal support, and - most importantly -the belief that everyone deserves access to quality healthcare, regardless of their ability to pay.
Over the years, the Health Center expanded to serve Bellaire and Central Lake, introduced a sliding fee scale, added on-site services like pharmacy and specialty care, and evolved into the integrated, team-based organization we are today.
Happy 30th Birthday, Royal Farms!
Boutique Farm Market & Winery
"Once upon a time, a handsome young man named Patrick McGuire proposed marriage to his high school sweetheart, Sara Veliquette." She said "Yes," and the two founded "Royal Farms," named after Sara, a former National Cherry Queen. Thirty years later, Royal Farms is still a familyowned farm market, greenhouse and winery known for cherry products, baked goods, wine, and hard cider. Stop in for seasonal fruits and vegetables, made-from-scratch bakery items, and a relaxing afternoon in the wine garden sipping on wines.... and wish them a Happy Birthday!
Happy 25th Birthday, Moms & Tots Center
Providing support and services to pregnant women and mothers of children from infants to age 5 for 25 years! Everything from pregnancy tests... to counseling resources and tools to help with
the task of being a parent... to much-needed supplies.... these amazing folks help moms through tough times, and also share in the happy times.
Happy 10th Birthday, EJ Marathon!
For the last ten years, the Doctor family has proudly owned and operated the "go-to" place in East Jordan (and beyond) for gas, fantastic snacks and drinks, and a friendly face! And, almost continuously over the 10 years, the station has operated 24/7, which has been an absolute godsend to late-night travelers, night-shift workers, and so many others. Thank you Donna and family, and all the great employees over the years!
OUR TOWNS
City of East Jordan
Where River, Lake and Friendly People Meet
In addition to City Hall operations, the East Jordan city government departments include 24-hour police protection, a devoted volunteer fire department, public works that includes public water & sewer services, parks/recreation, membership in the Jordan Valley EMS Authority and a very active Downtown Development Authority working on multiple projects and partnership efforts.
East Jordan is very proud of where we’re going and where we’ve been. Teamwork is a key component in everything we do. Leadership and collaborations between organizations, businesses, schools and government operations are strong in East Jordan and continue to build a resilient community.
Village of Ellsworth
Founded in 1881 and incorporated as a village in 1938, Ellsworth is located on the scenic Breezeway and Chain of Lakes. If you are seeking a great place to live, retire, or play, Ellsworth is the place. With its park system, waterways, scenic roads, and snowmobile trails, Ellsworth is a great area to take advantage of Michigan’s Natural Resources during the four seasons.
Banks Township
Banks Township is a rural jewel in the north end of Antrim County. The spring and summer months bring a gorgeous green to our rolling hills; the Chain of Lakes provide ample water recreation opportunities; and winter offers up a crisp change of scenery on the lakes. Play on the Lake Michigan shoreline at Banks Township Park or walk and bike ride the non-motorized trails at Antrim Creek Natural Area. Whatever your recreational itch, Banks Township is a great destination to scratch it.
Atwood
Happy 158th Birthday, little old Atwood!
Atwood is home to several farm markets, a winery, 3 restaurants, a John Deere mecca, a motel, a famous tiny chapel and an 18-hole golf course. Oh, and a 156-acre public natural area is located on Lake Michigan which has some of the best sunsets in the State!

OUR SCHOOLS
Ellsworth Community School
Ellsworth Community School has a long and distinguished history of offering unequaled educational opportunities. Our motto “Big School Opportunities, Small School Relationships” summarizes our approach to education. Each student at Ellsworth is nurtured and encouraged to sample many academic and extra-curricular activities and to develop his or her unique talents. Most students actively participate in numerous before and after school activities while attending Ellsworth Community School.
With a small student to teacher/staff ratio, all Ellsworth students have access to opportunities that are virtually unheard of in other schools its size, including; free developmental pre-school, full day kindergarten, on-line learning opportunities for advanced classes and credit recovery, college credit at no charge to students, music/art/ physical education for all students, iPads in every classroom, one-one laptops for all high school students, and access to career/technical education programs in graphic arts, agriculture, and building trades.
Ebenezer Christian School
Ebenezer Christian School in Ellsworth, founded in 1945, is a nondenominational school. Our Preschool was founded in 2002. The preschool uses Zoo Phonics which is a method developed to make children strong readers at an early age. Our students use iPad’s during the school year which are integrated into their curriculum. The teacher incorporates online learning in all subjects and utilizes apps that are created specifically for education. Though we are a small school, we offer a great education in a loving environment and strive to be an extension of the home.
North Central Michigan College
Since 1958, North Central Michigan College in Petoskey has been opening the door to academic success for residents by offering two-year associate degrees in the arts and sciences that are transferable to upper division colleges and universities. In addition, North Central has paved the path to better-paying careers through its applied science programs in business, education, health science, criminal justice, information technology and manufacturing. Equally important, North Central provides a second chance for residents by advancing their skills, switching careers or just getting more from life through higher education.
East Jordan Public Schools
Building a foundation with a world class education combined with the small school feel and caring environment that our parents have come to trust, our goal is to provide our students with experiences that will last a lifetime... and memories to share forever. EJPS comprises a vibrant part of the community and takes its job of educating East Jordan’s youth seriously. Thanks to our generous community, the district was recently able to upgrade infrastructural items, replace technology, provide secure entry ways, replace buses, and overhaul the high school gym.
In the classrooms, on stage, and on the field of competition, East Jordan students continue to make us proud. We are pleased to boast a wide variety of academic courses, and continue to grow while challenging our students to create, design, build, and apply.
While academic studies and preparation is a primary focus, it is also recognized that in order to prepare our students to be well-rounded, productive members of a community, we must encourage them to take pride in all areas of their growth. Whether through athletics, the arts, community service or simply treating others with respect, East Jordan Pride is a commitment to always doing your best.
Char-Em Intermediate School District
Char-Em ISD is a regional education service agency serving the public schools of Charlevoix, Emmet and northern Antrim counties.
Our primary mission is to provide leadership and services that enhance the delivery of instruction for our 11 constituent school districts and assisting other public and parochial schools. We match services, materials and personnel in the areas of special education, school improvement, professional development, early childhood, vocational education, school safety, and administrative/business services, among other areas of expertise, to the needs of our local schools.
