welcome to manistee, mi!
Northern Michigan's Hidden Gem
Manistee was born out of the lumber boom in the 1800's. At it's height, this small Northern MI town was home to more millionaires (in the form of lumber barons) per capita than other city in the United States.
As a result, beautiful historic buildings make up the backdrop of Manistee. Today, Manistee has a big hand in agriculture, fruit farming, as well as being a summertime destination for tourists from all over the country.
Sandwiched between Lake Michigan and Huron-Manistee National Forest, Manistee has become an outdoor wonderland for both residents and visitors alike.
Manistee boasts miles of some of the best shorelines in the country. Soft sand, clear blue water, and gorgeous skylines give way to beautiful parks and event venues.
