Frankenmuth, MI

Known throughout the state as Michigan’s Little Bavaria, Frankenmuth is a close-knit community of roughly 5,000 residents situated along the Cass River. German settlers founded the town in 1845, and that heritage is still alive today in the timber-framed Main Street buildings, traditional bakeries, and famous year-round festivals. It has the cozy charm of a historic village alongside modern essentials like popular local shops and Bronner's Christmas Wonderland.
