Saginaw
Estimated time: 1 hour, 38 minutes
Forget what you've heard about Saginaw, it's home to a ton of cool stuff. Literary fans can visit the childhood home of the Pulitzer Prize winning poet, Theodore Roethke, as well as the stunning Carl Roethke home right next store (pictured here). Plus, there's been a ton of downtown development in the last few years, which has brought tons of new dining and retail options, including farm-to-table hot spot Bradley's Bistro. Saginaw: give it a chance.
