The Rainbow Inn
Rainbow Inn was an Afro-American hotel, restaurant in Petoskey, Michigan, which ran from 1950 until 1965.
==Background==
The 1950s and 1960s era of the northwest Lower Peninsula of Michigan was a time period of expanding summer resort tourism. One of the top summer resort towns in the northern Michigan area, known as the "Tip of the Mitt," was Petoskey. The small city of 5,000 people was located on the eastern and southern shoreline of Little Traverse Bay, Lake Michigan. It was the first northern Lake Michigan town to draw a summer clientele of Midwestern city dwellers beginning in 1875. The Grand Rapids and Indiana Railroad had laid its rails northward and needed to fill its passenger cars with riders. The railroad began an advertising campaign towards people in the cities of Detroit, Chicago, and Cincinnati, who were interested in relief from the city summer heat. The railroad also promoted Petoskey as a place for freedom from the suffering of hayfever and other allegies.
From the late 1870s into the post-World War II era of the 1950s and 1960s, wealthy Midwesterners from Chicago, Cincinnati, Cleveland, Detroit and St. Louis came north every summer to the Petoskey area via the various summer railroad passenger trains. They either stayed or ventured further north to Mackinaw City or Mackinac Island. They also came north via the Great Lakes on passenger steamships such as the "Manitou", and "South American." Others chose to arrive by passenger car using US Highways 27 (US 27), US 31, and US 131. The first and largest Petoskey summer resort was located on Little Traverse Bay just east of the city limits. This was the Bay View Association, founded in 1875 as a Chautauqua summer gathering spot by the Methodist Church.
