Built around a railway stop, Vanderbilt grew into a small village in Michigan’s northern Lower Peninsula. It lies in Otsego County, north of Gaylord, where Interstate 75 crosses a region of woods, wetlands and terrain shaped by glaciers. The Pigeon River runs through the Pigeon River Country State Forest northeast of the village, a large public forest associated with Michigan’s free-ranging elk herd. Vanderbilt’s rail-era beginnings recall the logging and transport networks that helped develop this part of the state.
