Shiawassee County, Michigan
Shiawassee County is in the middle of Michigan’s Lower Peninsula. Here’s where small-town charm meets agricultural might. Rolling hills and fertile fields stretch across the landscape, broken up by the winding Shiawassee River.
Corunna is the county seat, which boasts a downtown with historic buildings and shopping. Visitors like to hit up the Steam Railroading Institute in Owosso, the largest city here.
The county’s past comes alive at Curwood Castle, once home to famous author James Oliver Curwood. Finally, DeVries Nature Conservancy offers a slice of wilderness right in the heart of farm country.
