Here's To You, History Buffs

One of my favorite things to do when traveling is to walk.  I find that the best way to get a feeling for the pulse of the city is to immerse yourself.  Grand Haven is the perfect walking town.  If you are a history lover (like my college roommate Erikka) be sure to stop by the Tri-Cities Historical Museum and the Train Depot Museum. One of the two locations is right downtown alongside the shops at 200 Washington Avenue, while the Depot Museum is right next to where you will see the musical fountain later.  Along with their normal exhibits, the Tri-Cities Museum is featuring a couple of awesome exhibits about Michigan logging, the birds of Michigan, and Michigan banks. The Depot Museum is actually in the former Grand Trunk Railroad Depot and has an entire room dedicated to the Coast Guard. This would be a great break from the beach if you want to get out of the sun and into the air conditioning.
