It's a place of horse-drawn carriages and covered bridges. Of riverboat
cruises and world-famous chicken dinners. Of big waterparks and
small-town strolls. So when we need to simplify the agenda, when
we need to spend the whole day with our kids instead of just hearing
about it right before bed, stop by and feel the warm welcome of
Frankenmuth, where you are sure to find the simple joys of life.
There are many reasons Frankenmuth is known as "Michigan's Little
Bavaria," and the German food is just one of them. The charming Bavarian
architecture, German church services and festivals enhance the complete
cultural experience. Another German-inspired favorite in Frankenmuth
includes the beautiful cascading flowers and landscapes. Frankenmuth didn't
just decide to become a German themed community as many may think.
The roots of the community run deep as Frankenmuth was founded in 1845
by a group of 15 German-Lutheran missionaries who came to the area to
teach Christianity to the native Chippewa Tribe. Many also wonder where
the name Frankenmuth came from and it's actually a blend of two words.
'Franken' depicts the province from which the settlers came and 'Muth"
means courage in German, which translates to "courage of the Franconians."
