Setting for conflicts that defined independence. Birthplace to world-changing, innovative ideas. Home to humble towns, quiet roads, and simple moments. Natural beauty, openness, kindness. We’re a gateway to Michigan, but more than that, we are symbolic of the best of what Michigan has to offer. Water. Work ethic. Kindness. and a mindset that’s ready to change the world.
