Gratiot Location Map Michigan

Michigan’s heartland holds Gratiot County. It’s located in the middle of the Lower Peninsula, about an hour north of Lansing. St. Louis and Ithaca (county seat) are small towns in the area.

Farms dominate the landscape, with corn and soybeans stretching to the horizon. But there’s more than just agriculture here. Alma College brings a dash of academia to the mix.

Locals rave about the Gratiot County Fair, a summer highlight packed with rides, livestock shows, and fried everything. Don’t forget about the Pine River that meanders through.
