Ludington Street

Affectionately known as "Main Street", Ludington Street runs east-west from the city limits all the way to the waterfront. Vintage postcards tend to focus on the retail portion of Ludington between Lincoln Road and Ludington Park.

If you're an Escanaba resident and have never heard of some of the cross streets mentioned below, you're not alone. Many of Escanaba's streets were changed from names to numbers early in the 20th century. Check out our Street Names page for a helpful guide to all the changes.
