The Village of Fairport is a super unique and beautiful place to enjoy.Here is a little bit of history, this house was built on Saint Martin island, and moved to its current location in Fairport from the island during the winter of 1883 or 84 using horse drawn skids across the ice of Lake Michigan. This is a distance of approximately 9 miles. The current is strong and it rarely freezes in this channel between big data knock and the open waters of Lake Michigan. But during the mid-1800s, most of the world experience various odd weather phenomenon because of the volcanic eruption of Krakatoa in Indonesia. Those winter’s were very hard. Winter started early and stayed late. This explains why the ice between Saint Martin island and the Garden Peninsula with solid enough to support house moving. This weather information is detailed in Carl Bohnak’s, former WLUCTV6 chief meteorologist, book “So Cold a Sky”. This information was also confirmed by lifelong residence in Fairport, and the historic books left in the house.
