The Vassar Times

This illustrated rendering depicts the original offices of The Vassar Times, a weekly newspaper serving the community of Vassar, Michigan. Located at the corner of a main intersection, the building housed the paper’s editorial and printing operations under the proprietorship of H.A. Miller. Established in the late 1800s, The Vassar Times—later known as the Tuscola County Pioneer Times—chronicled local events, civic developments, and everyday life in Michigan’s Thumb region. This image captures a moment in time when small-town journalism played a central role in shaping and informing rural communities.
