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.
