Why Support Awesome Mitten?
At Awesome Mitten we work hard to make honest, helpful, and reliable travel guides and articles for the state of Michigan that are a genuine resource to our audience.
We want to produce the kind of content we’d be proud to show our own mom. Actually we often do… Thanks mom for your support!
But producing guides and articles with real people is an expensive endeavor. We spend the time to research and go more in-depth than anyone else. We go and visit the places, eat the food, talk to the owners, and walk the paths to share the details with you.
Then each piece of content passes in front of multiple team members to ensure it’s worth sharing with you, our audience… and our mom of course.
But it’s getting more and more difficult for small independent publishers like us to cultivate an audience with big tech constantly changing the rules.
With Awesome Mitten Premium you can support our mission directly, to help people fall more in love with Michigan, and get some great benefits in the process. We’re deeply grateful for your support!

“Former resident of Michigan – What fantastic photos of the Fall Season in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. My Mother-in-law was born and raised in Gay back in the “glory days” of Copper Mining, and my wife and I very much enjoy our travels to that area of the U.P. The information and the wonderful photos help to bring back wonderful memories.”
-Jim H.
Being a born and raised Michigander, the history of this state never ceases to fascinate me. Just goes to prove, you’re never too old to learn. I think the UP is great and love visiting the different cities and learning about their rich history. Thanks for a great article.”
