Iconic. The cannon blasts, the rifles fire, the soldiers march and history comes alive. The oldest building in Michigan and 13 other historical structures boast exhibits explaining everything from military training and battles to medical treatments to family life within the fort. More than just a military outpost, Fort Mackinac served as a home for soldiers and their families and eventually the headquarters for Mackinac National Park, where tourists to the island visited the great fortress on the bluff, much like they do today. This is Mackinac.

We are OPEN for the season. At this National Historic Landmark, visitors can learn about 17th century St. Ignace: the Ojibwa who formed the population, the Huron refugees and the French who established the area as the center of fur trade. Check out our award winning Clan Park, the fun kids area, our authentic Native store along with the beautiful new Sculpture Park and our Longhouse on our grounds. Also visit Father Marquette's burial site in our Marquette Mission Park. Admission is by donation. Must be seen to be believed! Amazing! Bus tours welcome..please call ahead.

Pleasantly surprised by this small but rich museum which tells the interesting story of the Ojibwa people who live in Michigan. Very good introductory video and several interesting displays and artifacts. Don't miss the outdoor displays, which include a traditional long house. Well worth stopping for. Easy parking around the museum.

This lighthouse, the oldest operational light on Lake Superior, is an awesome place to visit for the maritime history as well as to drink in the pristine natural area of forests and Lake Superior shoreline. Lodging is nearby in Paradise.
