Points of Interest

Stop At: Fort Mackinac7127 Huron Rd, , Mackinac County, MichiganThis is Mackinac. 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. Duration: Not AvailableStop At: The Richard & Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum7070 Main St, Mackinac County, MichiganBe inspired. Nowhere else does such a rare and exceptional collection of Mackinac-related art and photography come together to tell Mackinac’s story. In complement to the natural beauty of Mackinac Island, The Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum allows visitors to experience fine and decorative arts inspired by Mackinac through the ages. One of the most diverse art museums in the region, the museum’s collection offers no shortage of beauty and history – from hand-beaded Native American garments and 17th and 18th-century maps of the Great Lakes, to one-of-a-kind pieces from the height of Mackinac Island’s Victorian era. Original photographs from the mid-19th to the mid-20th century present the beauty of Mackinac as captured by the camera’s eye. Featured are the works of William H. Gardiner, including dozens of his famed early-twentieth century hand-tinted views. #thisismackinacDuration: 1 hourStop At: Biddle House7406 Market St, Mackinac County, MichiganA Time of Change. Step into the home of Agatha and Edward Biddle, merchants who moved in around 1830. This was a time of change, and the 1830s were critical to the Biddles for another reason: as an Anishnaabek woman, Agatha and other indigenous people witnessed their culture subjected to immense changes. The decade transformed the Anishnaabek, linking old ways with Michigan’s modern indigenous culture. The continuing story of the Anishnaabek of northern Michigan is not always a happy one. It is a story of battles won and lost, promises made and broken, and cultures repressed and resurgent. Most importantly, the story in which the Biddle family played a role is one that continues today. This new exhibit, created in conjunction with tribal partners, explores that story and how it still resonates on Mackinac Island and throughout northern Michigan.#thisismackinacDuration: 1 hour

Lots of historical buildings. Interesting movie. Stayed for 11 am canon firing. Was raining so limited visibility. End of season so no hat pin souvenirs.

An interesting place to see, but truly not as good of a tour as other forts that we have visited. Okay, but a bit disappointing.

We spent one day on the island and heard from friends that we should go to the Fort Mackinac museum. They weren't wrong! Lots of things to see and well worth the cost. You could spend as much time as you wanted there. Great for history buffs and war buffs in particular!

This was the last stop on a carriage tour. It was wonderful to see the buildings, gift shop, and eat at the tea room. Lots of history and stories within those walls, worth a stop.
