Michigan's Most Underrated Town Offers Charm & a Royal Experience

In a world where popular tourist destinations often steal the spotlight, it's easy to overlook the charm and beauty of smaller, underrated towns. These hidden gems offer a unique blend of history, culture, and community spirit that can't be found in more well-known locations.

Love Exploring got the memo when putting together a cool list of the Most Underrated Towns in Every State. They wanted to shine a little light and throw a little love on those towns that usually don't get the kudos they deserve.

"The USA's biggest cities are packed with energy and attractions, but to really get to know America, you need to make time for its smaller towns too. In every state, there are overlooked places, from chilled-out spots with an Old West spirit to chic villages packed with galleries and boutiques", Love Exploring noted about its list.

What's the Most Underrated Town in Michigan?

On the list of the Most Underrated Towns in Every State, Owosso has proudly taken the spotlight for Michigan. Located in the heart of Shiawassee County, Owosso is a place where history meets modern-day charm. From its vibrant downtown filled with unique shops and eateries to the picturesque Curwood Castle that looks straight out of a fairy tale, Owosso is brimming with delightful surprises. Here's what Love Exploring about this Michigan charmer;

"A castle is the crown jewel of this teensy city in Michigan. Curwood Castle broods over the Shiawassee River, with towers, turrets, and all, and was once author James Oliver Curwood's writing studio. After you've gazed up at this fairy-tale fort, move on to the Steam Railroading Institute for your history fix, or take to the River Walk for a wander or a cycle".

A little bit of a 'royal experience' with its own castle makes Owosso a sweet hidden gem in Michigan something truly unique.

If you haven't taken time to check it out, the next time you're planning a Michigan adventure, skip the well-trodden paths and discover the magic of Owosso. It’s a hidden gem that deserves all the love it’s getting!
