The Village of Thompson was once a bustling lumber town located on the shores of Lake Michigan. The docks where the schooners were once loaded with lumber are long gone leaving only the pilings and a stone foundation. The famous schooner, Rouse Simmons, better known as the Christmas Tree Ship sailed out of the Thompson Harbor on November 22, 1912 on its annual run loaded down with trees from Schoolcraft County heading for Chicago. The ship and crew were lost off Two Rivers, Wisconsin. Thompson Township has applied for a State Historical Marker to be placed at this site. One side of this marker will be dedicated to the history of Thompson and the opposite side will tell the story of the Rouse Simmons.

Open Daily 7:30 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. No admission fee. The Thompson State Fish Hatchery was established in 1922 for the production and rearing of cold and cool water fish. Brown & Rainbow Trout, Steelhead, Chinook, Salmon, Walleye and Northern Muskellunge are raised and reared in indoor and outdoor facilities. Completely renovated in 1977, this state of the art facility and its interpretive center is a great educational opportunity.
