Robert Myers of the Historical Society of Michigan will host a virtual program about the House of David’s Great Waters Transportation Company on Tuesday, Jan. 23 at 7 p.m.
In 1903, millennialist preachers Benjamin and Mary Purnell founded the Israelite House of David religious order in Benton Harbor.
Seeking ways to fund their communal society, they set up logging camps at Aral (in Benzie County) and later on High Island, and created a shipping company to tranport lumber.
