The Cascades, Romeo

Romeo, Michigan · Macomb County · Historic Places

The Cascades near Romeo opened in 1928 with a lake, a waterfall spillway, golf and a clubhouse. Photographs and clippings show the resort development and its plans to attract families from the Detroit area.

The larger summer-home plan faced the Great Depression soon after opening. The episode follows the property through later changes, including work on the dam, while the related Michigan4You article provides more detail about the project.
