Antique stores, craft microbreweries, children's toy stores, and bakeries abound, including one of the best places to grab gourmet cinnamon rolls in the state. The Southern Michigan Railroad Society showcases exhibits related to the region's railroading history, including restored train cars. Annual special events include the Tecumseh Ice Sculpting Festival and the autumn Appleumpkin Festival. An annual Art Walk opens the doors of the city's art galleries and studios, while an Art Trail showcases public art sculptures that are changed on a yearly basis.
