What's the 'Coolest Small Town' in Michigan?

We'd love to surprise you with the top pick, but if you've been there this will come as no big shock. Far & Wild chose that vacation hot spot Traverse City as the 'coolest' small town in Michigan. Here's what Far & Wide had to say about the town founded in 1847;

"Actually the largest city in northern Michigan, Traverse City nonetheless retains small-town charm, particularly during its annual, beloved National Cherry Festival. (Fun fact: Three-quarters of the popular Montmorency cherries grown in the U.S. come from Michigan!) Besides its tart cherries, the town boasts a location in Grand Traverse Bay, providing an entryway to carefree days on the water and bays of Lake Michigan."

Adventure awaits in every corner of TC. Plan a trip and discover why Traverse City isn't just a destination, but a cool memory-making experience.
