 Welcome to Benzie County! This site is now being hosted by Mike and Vicki Henry, a brother and  sister tag team, who hope that your visit here will be worthwhile.   We will try to update it at least every two months.

 Let us know if you have any new material you'd like to share.  Also, if there's any data you don't see, but would like to, please let us know.  We may not be able to fill every request, but we are willing to give them all a thought.

Contact us at flinthead@juno.com, but please put BENZIE COUNTY DATA in the subject line.  (I have a very quick finger when it comes to deleting spam in my inbox.)

If you have an interest in being a coordinator for any of our Michican counties, please read the County Coordinator Guidelines and then contact the Michigan State Coordinator by email. Thank you!
