LANSING, Mich. — The Historical Society of Michigan has published the eighth edition of the Historic Michigan Travel Guide.

Filled with photos, the unique 160-page guidebook features nearly 500 museums, historic sites and historical attractions available for tourists throughout the state of Michigan.

The edition includes updated listings for hundreds of historical societies, museums, attractions, and destinations across the state. Complete with photos, contact details, site information, and a QR code for easy access to each site’s website, this guide is a must-have for Michigan residents and out-of-state travelers looking to explore the Great Lakes state’s diverse history, rich culture and heritage resources.

The new Travel Guide is available at Michigan Meijer stores and online at the society’s website. It will also be available for sale at local bookstores and other locations across Michigan.

“Meijer’s sponsorship of the Historic Michigan Travel Guide helped make it possible to do the extensive work of collecting the necessary data and writing, editing, typesetting, and publishing this guide,” said Larry J. Wagenaar, executive director and CEO of HSM.

The Historic Michigan Travel Guide is divided by geographic region. Each section lists sites alphabetically by the city or town name. Each entry consists of a detailed listing that provides the pertinent information needed to visit.

For a travel guide listing, sites are required to have a physical location open to the public, be considered a “tourist attraction” of historical interest, and be a member organization of the Historical Society of Michigan.

The guide has a retail price of $12.95, with a discount for current members of the society.
