Saugatuck Dunes State Park

The site was once part of the estate of the inventor of the comptometer Dorr E. Felt, whose summer home, the Felt Mansion, built in 1928, is an in-holding within the state park. Later on the mansion housed cloistered nuns. In the 1970s, the building was purchased by the state of Michigan and used as a state police post, with nearby buildings serving as a prison. The state completed purchasing the site for state park purposes in 1978. ==Activities and amenities==
