A Michigan Heritage Route is a designation for a segment of the State Trunkline Highway System in the US state of Michigan that is a "scenic, recreational, or historic route that is representative of Michigan's natural and cultural heritage." The designation was created by the state legislature on June 22, 1993, and since then five historic, six recreational and five scenic heritage routes have been designated by the Michigan Department of Transportation in both the Upper and Lower peninsulas of the state.

Famous quotes containing the words heritage and/or route:
“It seems to me that upbringings have themes. The parents set the theme, either explicitly or implicitly, and the children pick it up, sometimes accurately and sometimes not so accurately.... The theme may be “Our family has a distinguished heritage that you must live up to” or “No matter what happens, we are fortunate to be together in this lovely corner of the earth” or “We have worked hard so that you can have the opportunities we didn’t have.””
—Calvin Trillin (20th century)
“A Route of Evanescence
With a revolving Wheel—”
—Emily Dickinson (1830–1886)
