The name of the road is Arnold Road. I’ve been a resident of this area my entire life and never heard this tale. Minnie Quay is legit, you’re missing the Cadillac House in Lexington, Michigan.
The road is now on google maps. This is the believed orignal Austin Arnold Road
County road 600 east
It’s definitely not in Michigan. This town is located in Pike County, Indiana. I also grew up here, and never heard the story.
How are the nearest towns in Michigan if it is in Winslow, IN?
This was my Great Uncle Austin. His house sat on the corner or what is now Leo Lane. Lots of stories that I will always hold dear!
The road is blocked off on Google Maps 2024.
