History
Interlochen State Park, originally called Pine Park, was established in 1917 when the Michigan Legislature paid $60,000 for the land, making it the State of Michigan's first officially recognized state park.[1][2] It was created to preserve for future generations the virgin pine stand (Pinus strobus).[3] It is one of the few easily reached places in Michigan where old-growth (pre-European settlement) red pine can be found.[4]Template:Efn-ua
In 1928, the National Music Camp, Interlochen Center for the Arts was established on the property adjoining the northern boundary of the park.[2]
