The Lyndon Township Board of Trustees put its support behind an application to have a historical marker be placed in recognition of the Wild Goose Country Club and Subdivision.
To demonstrate this after the board’s vote at their March 10 meeting, Lyndon Township Supervisor Pam Byrnes wrote up a letter of support for the Historical Marker Application for the Wild Goose Country Club and Subdivision.
“The Lyndon Township Board of Trustees unanimously voted to support this application to the State of Michigan’s Historical Marker Program,” the letter of support concluded. “The applicants, who are members of the Wild Goose Lake community, make a strong case for its historical significance as a unique opportunity for African Americans at a time when many other nearby lakes had racially restrictive covenants that prohibited property sales to non-Caucasians. As Trustees representing Lyndon Township, Washtenaw County, Michigan, we are grateful for this opportunity to add our enthusiastic support. The timing of application is especially significant as the Wild Goose Lake community approaches their 100th anniversary in August of 2027.”…
