Answer 1

Kalamazoo, MI has an aerospace museum.
Michigan City, IN has the Indiana Dunes.

Answer 2

Oh honey...just drive. Michigan has alot of beautiful things to see but why stop? From Sarnia, which crosses into Port Huron Michigan, it'll take you about 6 hours to get to Chicago. Just roll with it!

If you are a smoker, be sure to stop in Indiana...cheap smokes! Avoid going through Chicago during rush hour because that will add about an hour (plus) to the drive time.

I checked your driving plan...and I think taking the 401 into Windsor is probably a better bet. You will cross over into Detroit. Get onto I-75 north (turn right onto Jefferson Ave. once you leave the tunnel) and exit at I-94 west...take I-94 into Indiana and take the tollway (I-90). It will cost about 3.50 through the toll way (2 stops of 35 cents and one of $2.50). The tollway cuts travel time down by about 45 minutes and takes you right into Chicago.

Answer 3

This is minutes outside of Sarnia in a town called Petrolia

"It's just a fact that most people have absolutely no idea about the REAL origin of the oil industry - which, incidentally, began in a little section of Southwestern Ontario known today as Oil Heritage District."
