Fort Holmes

During the War of 1812, the British constructed a small fort on the highest point of the island, to better protect Fort Mackinac. Originally named Fort George, it was renamed by the Americans, following their return in 1815. The Americans continued to man the outpost for a few years, but eventually abandoned it. In 1934 a reconstruction, carried out by the Works Progress Administration and based on original plans, was completed. It was replaced by the current version in 2015.

It's really up there but the view is stunning! The highest point on the Island. Also easy to combine with a walk to sugar loaf, skull cave and the arch.

Is It You Spot From Somewhere in Time Movie!

Reviewed By KENNETHK301

This Great Hotel is 133 years old. It has been renovated over the decades and exudes the charm of Old South in spite of the fact that it is in the North! As promised, the front porch is unbelievably long, lined with dozens of rocking chairs. Live music is played each evening with a harpist in the lobby area, a dance band in a room made for dancing, and live music in the dining room. Food is plentiful -- from the buffet or the menu. Each guest room is uniquely decorated. Only "stuffy" part of staying there is that men must wear a coat and tie after 6:30 pm in the dining room and elsewhere, and that the dining room wait staff has very little diversity (reminds one of relegating low-paying positions to minorities). Magnificent views of lawns and flowers all around.
