Nancy Peterson’s September 2006 column proposed Beaver Island fairy doors as a mapped, illustrated attraction. She pointed to Ann Arbor’s urban-fairy-door project and identified Patrick Boyle as an Island artist already drawing possible doors.

Evidence limits

The article records a proposal and campaign, not proof that a public fairy-door network was installed.
