Circling Lake Michigan: 1100 Miles of History, Arts & Culture
When: Tuesday, May 21, 6:30pm
Where: Library Auditorium
Vacationers have been looping Lake Michigan for generations — but the official “Lake Michigan Circle Tour” route wasn’t established until the 1980s when the Michigan Department of Transportation teamed up with the West Michigan Tourist Association (WMTA) to create the route and its official guidebook.
Along the way, more than 100 lighthouses, countless islands, unique attractions, parks and natural areas, miles of glorious beaches, quaint harbor towns, an internationally-recognized urban center, and one “modern marvel” — the Mackinac Bridge can be found.
You are invited to take a virtual tour of some of the Lake Michigan Circle Tour’s well-known destinations and its best-kept secrets with Dianna Stampfler, who worked for 7 years at WMTA as a primary researcher and promoter of the route!
Registration is not required.
