It might not be plausible to visit exciting Michigan destinations in person over the coming weeks, but that doesn’t mean you simply have to sit around daydreaming about our state’s many wonders. Luckily for us, there are plenty of virtual options that allow Michiganders and out-of-staters alike the chance to experience Michigan in all its glory without leaving home. For a healthy dose of Michigan history and natural beauty, check out this project from Manistee County.
Manistee County sits southwest of Traverse City along the shores of Lake Michigan.
This section of the Great Lakes State boasts everything from fascinating historical importance to breathtaking natural beauty. There’s so much to appreciate.
While you might not be able to hop in the car and drive to Manistee county for in-person exploration, you can enjoy a virtual excursion via the Manistee County Visitors’ Bureau.
That’s right: Manistee County is now offering access to upwards of 100 historical sites and attractions via its Manistee Historic Sites Tours — all accessible for free online.
When you check out the collection, you’ll find everything from written narratives to photographs to a series of 25 video tours narrated by actor and Manistee native Toni Trucks.
So, what will you learn about when you dive into the delights of Manistee County? Video content includes tours of everything from historical homes to cultural sites.
Immerse yourself in the magic of Manistee’s Vogue Theater, find out more about the iconic Iron Works building, or explore the long-standing Maple Street Bridge.
Whether you’re an area resident or a hopeful future visitor, be sure to check out this impressive virtual collection from Manistee County. You’ll fall in love with the area in no time.
