For people coming to the Flint reception you may want to checkout the historic Crossroads Village & Huckleberry Railroad. It's a one-of-a-kind collection of restored 19th century buildings, amusement rides and authentic narrow-gauge railroad. Here you’ll see what life “way back when” was all about. From the smithing of the iron to the churning of the butter to the pressing of the cider.
Frankenmuth is a Bavarian themed city about 30 minutes North of Flint. Besides getting your fill of German food and beer it's also home to Bronner's, the largest year-around Christmas store in the world!
