Usually, when people think of Michigan, they think of Detroit, Flint, and big economic problems. Michigan was once the “Motor City” as the big three auto companies are headquartered there (GM, Ford, & Chrysler). Michigan these days is known for its struggling economy since auto manufacturing has increasingly been outsourced to China leaving the state with a lack of jobs. Nonetheless, there are still some pockets of wealth in the state. We want to feature 3 epic castles that exist in various parts of Michigan. Who would have guessed?
Castle Farms – Charlevoix
