Montague Inn is a 1929 Georgian mansion set on eight acres along Lake Linton in Saginaw, Michigan. Built for local businessman Robert Montague at a cost of $125,000 during the Great Depression, the more than 12,000-square-foot property is filled with period furnishings, antique décor, and architectural details that include secret rooms and hidden closets tied to both the Prohibition era and World War II — during the war, the mansion reportedly sheltered injured soldiers arriving at the nearby Potter Street station. The property opened as a bed and breakfast in June 1986 and today hosts weddings, corporate meetings, family reunions, and private celebrations across its indoor and outdoor spaces. Event options range from intimate indoor settings to an outdoor ceremony arena accommodating more than 120 guests and lakeside gardens suited for larger gatherings of over 500.

The Japanese Cultural Center, Tea House, and Gardens of Saginaw occupies three acres of the Tokushima-Saginaw Friendship Garden, a living expression of the sister-city relationship between Saginaw, Michigan and Tokushima, Japan that has welcomed visitors for over 50 years.
