These photographs are taken down Grand Haven’s Washington Street between Second and Third streets. In the distance, beyond downtown and across the Grand River, is Kitchel Dune. In 1935, bare sand was abundant across much of the dune, but by the summer of 2019, vegetation has expanded across all of Kitchel Dune.
