Michigan’s most underrated city offers charm and a royal experience
In a world where popular tourist destinations often take the spotlight, it’s easy to overlook the charm and beauty of smaller, underrated towns. These hidden gems offer a unique blend of history, culture and community spirit not found in more well-known locations.
Love Exploring got the memo when they put together a cool list of The most underrated cities in every stateThey wanted to bring a little light and love to cities that don’t usually get the recognition they deserve.
“The U.S.’s biggest cities are full of energy and attractions, but to really get to know America, you need to make time for its smaller towns, too. There are overlooked spots in every state, from laid-back towns with a Wild West vibe to chic villages filled with galleries and boutiques,” Love Exploring noted of its list.
What is the most underrated city in Michigan?
On the list of The most underrated cities in every state, Owosso has proudly placed itself in Michigan’s spotlight. Located in the heart of Shiawassee County, Owosso is a place where history meets modern charm. From its lively downtown filled with unique shops and restaurants to the picturesque Curwood Castle that looks like something out of a fairytale, Owosso is full of delightful surprises. Here’s what Love Exploring has to offer in this charming Michigan spot:
“A castle is the crown jewel of this tiny Michigan town. Perched above the Shiawassee River with its towers and turrets, Curwood Castle was once the writing studio of author James Oliver Curwood. After climbing to the top of this fairytale fortress, head to the Steam Railroading Institute for your history needs or stroll or bike the River Walk.”
A bit of a “royal experience” with its own castle makes Owosso a sweet hidden gem in Michigan, something truly unique.
If you haven’t taken the time to explore it yet, get off the beaten path on your next Michigan adventure and discover the magic of Owosso. It’s a hidden gem that deserves all the love it gets!
