Here are some Fun Michigan Facts:

Michigan gets its name from the Indian word "Michigana" (great lake). Lansing is the state capital. State Motto: "If you seek a pleasant peninsula, look about you." State Flower: Apple Blossom. Michigan is sometimes referred to as the "Great Lakes State." (It was once called the Wolverine State, although there are no longer any wolverines in that state.) If you love lighthouses, Michigan is the state for you! It has (+/-) 110 of them.
