Spikehorn Meyers

    One of Northern Michigan's and Harrison’s most colorful characters was John “Spikehorn” Meyers, known to thousands of Michigan residents simply as Spikehorn. Quik Stop sits just across, and down the road from where Spikehorn's Famous Bear and Deer park was located at the corner of US-27 and M-61. Spikehorn was a showman, naturalist, politician, coal miner, tile manufacturer, furniture builder, inventor, realtor, bear hunter, lumberjack, and above all, individualist. Spike Horn wore a thick head of white hair and sported a big white beard and was known far and wide for his antics which included taking his bears right into Michigan's capital building in Lansing.
