Fishtown’s Village Cheese Shanty lifted onto new foundation, saved from rising waters
“LELAND, MI - Less than a month after Fishtown’s beloved Village Cheese Shanty building was lifted off its swamped foundation amid high-water concerns, the 7.5-ton structure today was lowered back onto a new, higher foundation so it can leave its soggy past behind.”
A VISIT TO THE VILLAGE CHEESE SHANTY IN FISHTOWN, MI
“Every so often there’s a meal that at first bite, you just know you’ll never forget it. That’s exactly what happened the first time my husband and I had sandwiches at The Village Cheese Shanty in Fishtown (Leland, MI) many years ago.”
The Village Cheese Shanty
“The Village Cheese Shanty located in historic Fishtown is the place to go for some awesome sandwich. If you didn’t already know Fishtown is in the town of Leland in the Leelanau Peninsula. The Village Cheese Shanty next to the Dam Candy Store is a little deceiving. The few times I have been to Fishtown I thought it was just another cheese and wine shop. My son ate there this summer and he made me go back with him because he loved it so much. Inside this little shanty is some of the best sandwiches in the state.”
