Marinette is a small city overlooking Green Bay, sitting right across the Menominee River from Michigan’s Upper Peninsula. The waterfront location is central to the city’s culture, with boating and fishing among the most popular local pastimes and shipbuilding serving as one of the area’s major industries. More than half of the homes in Marinette were built before 1950, giving the town a timeless aesthetic; this extends to the Downtown area along Hall Avenue and Main Street, where countless vintage storefronts still host restaurants, shops, and other small businesses. Marinette shares many resources with neighboring Menominee, Michigan, with three bridges connecting the two cities.
