Yay, Michigan! I actually have a couple of Petoskey stones in my beach-themed bathroom as decoration. :) Found them on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Southeastern Massachusetts in the vicinity of Plymouth is full of enormous cranberry bogs.

I wasn't aware of this quiz and made a similar quiz for all 50 states:
