Welcome to the Michigan Wiki: a wiki dedicated to the sharing of information about the culture, places and people of this Great Lakes State. If it is a Michigan topic, we want to cover it—even the details! We want to share the wonders of Michigan from the tip of the Keweenaw Peninsula to Lambertville.
The wiki is created and edited by you! Please feel free to contribute by creating a new article on a Michigan-related topic, editing an existing article to add more information, or uploading images to enhance this site.
