Just north of town on F-97 stands a shoe tree. I am unaware of its origin.

Shoe Tree

I saw this shoe tree on county road M-97 about three miles north of St. Helen, Michigan. It seems to be a young tree, there were between forty and fifty pairs of shoes, but it may grow some with the continuation of the tourist season.

Can anyone verify if this is the same tree reported
