Once Prosperous, Now a Shadow Town: Prescott, Michigan
"SHADOW TOWN: A town that was once a growing and prosperous community, but thanks to unforeseen circumstances is now a shadow of its former self." Prescott began in 1879 as a railroad encampment for the Tawas and Bay County Railroad. It was originally the Lake Huron and Southwestern Railroad until it was purchased that year by C. H. Prescott, who immediately made it into a settlement called 'Prescott's Camp Six'. In 1882, the name was chopped to simply 'Prescott'.
