I visit the library regularly for the latest in books, movies, and great book sales that occur twice a month. The staff is awesome. Very professional and helpful. When my grandson was younger we went to the kids area often. The area has computers for kids, books, movies, and a comfortable area for kids to sit and read. They also sponsor lectures and programs that cover a multitude of interests and ages. It is a wonderful asset to our community.

6. Brighton Recreation Area

This is our favorite place for canoeing. There are several lakes with easy boat ramp access, ranging from the relatively small Chilson Pond (only suitable early in the season - too choked with water weeds as the summer progresses) to the charming and less used Appleton Lake, up to the whole Bishop Lake complex which itself is in two parts connected by a pair of fun, narrow channels, and a further, longer channel connects to Caroga Lake. The run from Bishop Lake ramp to Caroga Lake and back is a very pleasant way to spend an hour or two on the water. While the lakes are frozen in the winter, Spring, Summer, and Autumn each have their unique charms. Bird watching is always great - we have seen flocks of Sandhill Cranes, Bald Eagles, Ospreys, Herons and other waterfowl, and many, many kinds of songbirds. We like to get out on the water early in the morning before the summer crowds arrive and the water is still. Later in the day, you may have to wait a bit for your turn at the boat ramp, particularly at the popular Bishop Lake. For kayakers, the Bishop Lake boat launch features a self-launch apparatus. While we have not used the other features of the park, it has three campgrounds, cabins for rent, an equestrian area, archery course, picnic grounds, and a beach and waterfront that also contains Jump Island, a set of large, inflated floats of various shapes that appear to be great fun for kids. Finally, the park is crisscrossed with numerous trails - it is a very popular mountain biking destination. The park does require a State Recreation Pass, but if you enjoy the outdoors, it is well worth the investment, particularly to visit such a wonderful park so close to civilization.

9. Historic Howell Theater

A strength of the Howell Historic Theater is the wide variety of movies it offers. In addition to the new releases available at most other theaters, the Howell Historic Theater also shows limited release movies and older classics. I have attended a sing along version of "The Greatest Showmen", several full length anime films including "Mary and the Witch's Flower", cult classics like "Donny Darko" as well as older masterpieces like Alfred Hitchcock's original "Psycho", which I was happy to see for my first time in an actual movie theater in 2018. Every February, this theater shows all the Oscar nominated shorts in the Animation, Live Action and Documentary categories. I watched them all marathon-style one Saturday, but showings of each type are available at different times. It was wonderful to be able to enjoy these works and have an opinion about them on Oscar night. The owner, Tyler, is usually selling tickets and concessions before shows. He is a film lover and wants to make sure everyone enjoys their time at the movies.

We visit the historic depot and caboose often and find something new every time. The Moris Code telegraph taps out train messages. Kids get to ring the train bell. The informative staff answers every question. We learn a lot of history every time we visit. Kids can play and picnic on the grounds. It is a hidden gem in the small town of Howell. If you are lucky, you get to see a 30 car train toot its way through town.
