Castle Farms

"Built in 1918 by Sears executive Albert Loeb, this elegant farm was designed to replicate the stone renaissance castles of Normandy, France. Originally a working dairy farm open to the public for browsing farming equipment sold through the Sears catalog, the venue has since been used as a rock music venue and is currently a World War I museum. Visit and take a tour of the gardens, hop on a coach ride or ride around the ground on a train. ." [Time Out]

"Dunes rising 450 feet above the edges of Lake Michigan, countless miles of beaches, clear lakes, and spectacular views can be found at this National Lakeshore in Michigan. This park also includes many inland lakes, meadows, wetlands, and northern hardwood and conifer forests. Visitors can access most areas by car, but there is also no shortage of hiking trails."
