Do you recognize that picture? Those of us who live in Mid-Michigan probably do, seeing as the most underrated town is fairly close to home. Like a lot of Michigan small towns, it has a cute little strip of old buildings full of life and joy. Unlike some other destinations, though, you might find yourself stumbling upon a castle.

That's right, we're talking about Owosso. Not a ton of Michigan towns are home to something as cool as a castle. In fact, author James Oliver once stayed in Curwood Castle.

The national website Love Exploring put together a list of underrated towns in each state, and their pick for Michigan was the town of Owosso. We can definitely see why. It has a small-town feel, history to explore, and a literal castle. There are tons of things to check out in the city of Owosso, including a lovely river walk, and of course the Shiawassee River.

If you haven't had the chance to visit Owosso yet, what are you waiting for? It would make a great end-of-summer day trip.
