Hotels in Monroe

Wander through the River Raisin National Battlefield Park where the War of 1812 comes alive without a single musket being fired. La-Z-Boy may have invented comfort here, but history buffs find their own version at the childhood home of George Armstrong Custer. The River Raisin Centre for the Arts stages performances in a building that's seen more drama offstage than on. William C. Sterling State Park offers Lake Erie shoreline where even the most dedicated city-dweller might accidentally commune with nature. The Monroe Farmers Market delivers local flavors without pretension, while Woodland Park provides green respite when the history lessons become overwhelming. Don't miss the Monroe County Fairgrounds, where seasonal events prove small-town America isn't just surviving – it's thriving.
