With the humble beginning of two historic buildings acquired in 1986, the Montcalm Heritage Village has grown to include more than 25 original and reconstructed structures and hundreds of artifacts from local areas depicting life in Michigan at the turn of the 1800s to 1900s. The Village comes alive during the annual Heritage Festival the first weekend in August and includes a one-room schoolhouse reenactment, a working blacksmith shop, and a civil war encampment. The Story of Heritage Village, however, is not simply a story of buildings, amazing as they are. This is a story about people those who lived in and among these structures in days gone by, and those who have labored to reconstruct and preserve them, and bring them to life. It is the fabric of these individual narratives that has been woven together to make The Story of Heritage Village.

Ever since the days when horse-drawn buggies brought resorters to enjoy the charm of the area more than 130 years ago, Clifford Lake Inn has been continuously providing hospitality to those who visit. It remains a touchstone of history and of progress. The first telegraph line was stretched from Stanton to Clifford Lake re-sort on October 1, 1880, but instead of a telegraph instrument as intended, a telephone was put into operation. It took, however, until February 22, 1881, for the first conversation to pass over the wire. When the U.S. Post Office opened in 1881, the town was known as Richard's Point. Clifford Lake Inn was constructed and opened for business. A horse-drawn "bus" line transported passengers from Stanton to Clifford Lake. The cost of a round trip fare was a whopping five cents. A steamboat also was launched at the lake that same year. The Inn has gone through many transformations since 1881. It has experienced destruction by fi re, multiple owners, a condemned state of disrepair, renewal, restoration, changes of style, and paranormal investigations. Despite the many challenges along the way, the Inn not only remains a staple of Montcalm County, but has been declared a State of Michigan Historic Site since 1986. This is the saga of Clifford Lake Inn.
Lee's young life shattered when he learned of his illegitimate birth and cut down the rope used by his newly revealed biological father to commit suicide. Spurred on by his spiritual conversion and his mother's rejection by the Christian community, Lee studied for the ministry in a desire to extend God's grace and encouragement to others. After surmounting several academic and denominational obstacles, he finally achieved an active ministry in the church and higher Christian education. However, in the process of acquiring an acceptable ministry, Lee lost sight of grace as the heart of his faith. It took his own spiritual and moral failure to help him truly accept his parents and others. In his brokenness, Lee learned by experience that grace and grace alone is everyone's hope and strength.

Amid farmlands and crystal lakes, the small bastion of higher education has faithfully endeavored to fulfill its mission of creating a learning community that contributes to the areas economic, cultural, and social prosperity. This commemorative history celebrating the colleges fiftieth anniversary includes numerous pictures that document its beginnings, growing pains, and advancement through five administrations to the respected and growing institution it is today.

Rather, its about the lives that have been touched, shaped, and changed forever.
Between the years 1981-1996, many American colleges experienced a period of decline due to the numbers of available students, economic trends, and national interests. Some of these schools were able to experience significant positive turnaround. At the same time, many institutions of religious higher education continued to decline, some to the point of closure. One Midwestern Christian college experienced a major turnaround. Evidence indicates in addition to turnaround, the school also went through a significant transformation process. This study investigated both the turnaround and transformation of the school as an integrated process. As such, it also serves as an example of an ethnographic case study in higher education.
