Michigan is a great place to go camping, hiking, fishing, boating, and more since it has more than 10,000 lakes and millions of acres of woodland. Sure, you should check out the state's natural wonders and quaint little villages, but if you ask around, you'll also get some great ideas for cultural and historical landmarks to visit. Michigan also has an abundance of art; in Detroit, for example, dilapidated structures have been repurposed into works of public art.
Sand dunes on the Lake Michigan shore at Saugatuck driving directions and Silver Lake are popular recommendations from Tours Around Michigan's Candice Smith, as is the Meyer May House in Grand Rapids, which was built by Frank Lloyd Wright. She promises that you will be awed by the scenery of Lake Michigan and its spectacular sunsets from the 300,000 acres of sand dunes there. Heritage Hill is one of the biggest historic house districts in the United States, and it is here that you will find the Meyer May House, a remarkable mansion constructed by timber barons, furniture industry owners, and early corporate leaders of Grand Rapids.
"The Historic Avenue of Fashion is one of the largest Black-business districts in the country," says Jeanette Pierce, head of the City Institute in Detroit. This area of Detroit is rich in history and culture, including everything from boutiques and art galleries to a legendary jazz club.
Director of sales and marketing Sherrilyn Cavanaugh recommends Cranbrook Art Museum, and the museum's artist-designed miniature golf course, to visitors of the Daxton Hotel in Birmingham, Michigan, a suburb of Detroit. She announced that "Cranbrook on the Green" had debuted on May 24 for its second season. "Two new holes have been built by members of the Cranbrook community for visitors to enjoy."
Two wine areas may be found in the "Midwestern corner" of the "Midwestern state," as Michigan is commonly known. "Surrounded by the crystal-clear waters of Lake Michigan with spectacular views accompanying every sip, it truly is one of the most scenic wine regions in the country," says Patrick Brys, president of Brys Estate Vineyard & Winery in Traverse City, which is home to Sleeping Bear Dunes. Brys was appointed to the Michigan Travel Commision. He described the experience as breathtaking: "to stand on top of a 450-foot mountain of sand rolling down to the turquoise waters of Lake Michigan."
