Applewood Estate
The Applewood Estate is the former home of Charles Stewart Mott who was one of the key figures in the creation of General Motors and one of Flint's most important residents. This particular recommendation holds a special place in Brooke's heart as she interned and was employed by the Ruth Mott Foundation to help lead volunteer tour guides. Brooke fell in love with the house and the gardens and hopes to one day help the Foundation in some way again. The Applewood Estate features the beautiful 1916 mansion, an apple orchard featuring 71 varieties of apple trees, and numerous flower and plant gardens on the property. Unfortunately the main house is closed due to COVID-19 restrictions however a self led tour of the gardens is worth the trip by itself.
Flint Crepe Company
The Flint Crepe company offers a variety of sweet or savory crepes and is within walking distance of the Hilton Garden Inn.
Farmers' Market
The first time that Cody visited Brooke in Michigan they went here with Brooke's family. It sticks out in Cody's memory as a really nice place to catch an afternoon snack.
Sloan Museum
A perfect stop for the casual auto enthusiast, the Sloan Museum specializes in the History or Genesee County specifically related to the local Auto Industry and the role of the Flint area in the creation of General Motors and Michigan as a hub for car manufacturers.
