NAHMA A fire destroyed the main building of the Upper Peninsula Golf and Lake Resort, formerly known as the No Nah Ma Resort, in Nahma early Thursday morning, but the business that has been a staple of the community will continue to operate.
“It’s gone. I don’t even know how to put it into words,” said Paula Brown, manager of the resort.
It was around midnight Thursday when Brown got the call that the resort’s main building, the historic sawmill for the Bay de Noquet Company the town was founded around in the 1800s, was on fire. The 20,000-square-foot building, which contained a variety of historical items related to the community as well as three apartments, was completely destroyed.
