Shoreham and the Lakes of Sallie & Melissa have beckoned generations of tourists and cabin owners. This bustling resort community had its origins in the 1890s and became the celebrated summer destination for a weekend or for the season. Now, the Hotel (restaurant) and the Shoreham Chapel are the only two original buildings left in what was once one of the most popular destinations in the area.
Back in its heyday, Shoreham was a bustling area, known for its lakes and resorts. At the end of Washington Avenue, on Detroit Lake, people would board the steamer Lady of the Lakes and travel through Dunton Locks, on the way to Shoreham.
From about 1890 to the 1930s, a typical trip started with a train ride into Detroit, followed by a buggy ride to the dock of Detroit Lake. From the dock, the Lady of the Lakes -- followed by several other steamers over the years -- would take passengers through the lake system, and an hour later, they would be set to enjoy a weekend at Shoreham. Hotel Shoreham's aura. The parade of past and present. Drift back in time circa 1910. Picture yourself in a straw boater or white lace, on a summer evening on the porch of the Grand Hotel Shoreham. Loons call. Fireflies fly. Wicker creaks. The ice in your cordial and distant cares melt away.
