Not that we’re counting or anything, but we in Michigan have quite a lot to be proud of. But the truth is, we have so many qualities to highlight that it’s hard to keep up. Here are some spots that are definitely brag-worthy. Check them out.
- We invented Motown.

- Apples from Michigan are, well, world famous.
Liza Lagman Sperl/Flickr You know, because you really can’t have enough fresh Michigan apples.
- We have the absolute best beaches.
Zhenya Kuzina/Flickr I mean, really, who needs all that salt water?
- We have the best places to travel for outdoor activities.
Will Marlow/Flickr Here in Michigan, staying indoors is really not an option.
- We invented the assembly line.

- …As well as the modern car.

- We have the longest freshwater coast line.
Blaine Courts/Flickr It’s become painfully obvious that Michigan really is the best source for fresh water.
- We have the largest number of lighthouses in the country.

- We have an emerging food and restaurant scene.

- We have practically a whole other state that is absolute beauty.

Kind of makes you want to relive all the things that makes us Michigan proud, huh? In the meantime, tell us where are your absolute favorite places to explore?
