"Omena, A Place in Time, sponsored by the Omena Historical Society and written by Amanda Holmes, traces Omena’s rich history, beginning as an Indian Mission and evolving into family farms, and Victorian summer resorts. Oral histories, family scrapbooks and written accounts were used in creating this record of an interesting lakeshore community. The book is highly readable and well illustrated. In addition to the major body of work by Holmes, small vignettes by other authors are interspersed throughout the work”

The Omena Historical Society is pleased to announce that a second printing of OMENA, A PLACE IN TIME is now on sale. A limited edition has been printed and, due to higher printing costs, this will probably be the last time this book will be published. The cover price will be $45. plus $5. for shipping and handling outside the Omena area.
The initial publication has received many accolades from the area. Our author, Amanda Holmes, was awarded a special citation by the State of Michigan. We were most fortunate to have her expertise to produce such an extraordinary publication of Omena's cherished and precious history.
