Upper Peninsula Question

Hello Everyone,,

I am relatively new to Michigan so not familiar with much of the area.  I'm trying to help a friend with research for an article and thought this would be a good place to get the answer.

The article is about educational travel and my friend would like to know if there are any good semi-educational places to take kids to learn about the cherry industry in the UP.  Feel free to answer here, on twitter (twitter.com/karenswim) or via email karenswim@gmaill.com. 

Thanks in advance for the help and I look forward to getting to know you all.

HI Karen,


Not quite the UP, the National Cherry Festival is held in Traverse City in July.  Here's a link to info

Other fun and/or educational places to explore with the kids:


Colon , MI, magic capital of the world  (founded by Henry Blackstone)

Turkeyville (on the way West to Colon, just outside of Marshall)

Enjoy!

Susan, thank you, thank you!  I passed this on and kept the list for myself. Embarassed This actually sounds like fun for adults too and I really need to explore Michigan!  Thank you so much.  I hope to meet you at an event soon.


Have a great night!


Karen
