History
In Finnish language the word '"omena"' means "apple", though it is unclear whether Finns were among the early settlers there. Local tradition says the word "omena" was an Ojibwe language Indian expression meaning "Is that so ?", or, "Is that really true?" and was reportedly Rev. Across the street is the Tamarack (Art) Gallery, US Post Office, the (Putnam-Cloud Tower House) Museum and (home of Omena Historical Society) and the Omena Bay Country Store. There is a small general store and a yacht club called "The Omena Traverse Yacht Club". Among others, Benjamin Grierson, a US American Civil War War general had a summer home in Omena, as did (General Byron Cutcheon)
The Harbor Bar (aka ("Keith Brown's)) was originally a gas station and garage owned by (John Putnam.) Leelanau Wine Cellars purchased the property and converted a portion of the property to a state-of-the-art tasting room.
