The area of Michigan known as the Tri-Cities is made of up three urban destinations: Saginaw, Midland, and Bay City. While all three offer plenty to do, see, and explore, Saginaw stands out thanks to its abundance of cultural attractions and museums. Saginaw was once a thriving logging town, and later a hub for the automotive industry.
