Hidden German Town in Michigan🇩🇪
Growing up in Michigan and spending summers up north, one of my favorite spots has always been Frankenmuth. Often called Little Bavaria because of its German heritage, this city is named after the region in Germany called Franconia. It combines Franconia & the word Mut, which means courage.
