Michigan Tourist Propaganda Film circa 1949


Interesting, albeit dated film, of scenic Michigan during the mid 20th century. Michigan cherries, featured in the film, are generally very tart and usually are not eaten directly from the tree as shown in the movie.  They are best used as pie filling.  I've always thought it a coincidence that the only two states that I have lived in are the only states that are peninsulas.  In Michigan's case, two of them.

The state motto of Michigan is "Si Quaeris Peninsulam Amoenam Circumspice" or "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you."
