The J.W. Westcott Company was established in 1874 by John Ward Westcott. It was Westcott's goal to improve navigation on the Great Lakes, so he developed a marine reporting agency to relay dock and destination information to passing vessels. Over the years, the business grew and new services were offered, including the United States Postal Service mail boat in 1948. Come to learn about the history of the company and see how J.W. Westcott still serves the Great Lakes community today. This tour includes lunch.
