Saugatuck Scavenger Hunt

Recently, my family and I traveled to Saugatuck, a beach town along Lake Michigan we visit a few times each year. As we walked around the adorable downtown, I kept noticing things I never spotted before. Where they new? Some yes, but many I just never slowed down enough to take the time to notice. I’m passionate about finding the hidden gems in each town. But what to do when a town is full of hidden gems?! A burst of inspiration came upon me – put together a Saugatuck Scavenger Hunt!

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!
