Day Trip to Manistee, Michigan

My husband Tony and I took a day trip to Manistee after it was recommended by a colleague of his. Nicknamed the Victorian Port City, downtown Manistee is on the National Register of Historic Places due to its preserved Victorian architecture. If you are planning a vacation in Ludington, Pentwater, or near the Sleeping Bear Dunes, consider a day trip to Manistee. And if you’re looking for summer plans, this day trip offers plenty to explore! Read on for more information.

Explore Marshall, Michigan During a Day Trip

For the longest time I wanted to explore Marshall, Michigan during a day trip. Marshall is a town in southern Michigan with a ton of interesting history significant to both the state and United States. For one, Marshall once was in the running to become the Capitol city of Michigan. And two, the ruling in the Crosswhite Case helped contribute to the inevitable US Civil War.

Besides those facts, the Marshall Historic District is considered one of the US’ most architecturally significant National Historic Landmark Districts. With over 850 buildings, there are many original, well kept examples of 19th century architecture here. If you’re interested in architecture, you must add Marshall to your bucket list!
