Mouse Island, Lake Erie, For Sale

Mouse Island, Lake Erie

Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums

This photo of Mouse Island in western Lake Erie was part of the Platt Studios Collection preserved by the late Charles E.  Frohman at the Rutherford B. Hayes Presidential Library and Museums.  The island was owned by President Hayes and his descendants until it was sold in 1966.  As of July of this year, the seven-acre island is once again for sale.  You can see it on Zillow
