Fort Mackinac

Inside the stately stone walls it’s a different time.

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.

Live Programs and Tours

Demonstrations and tours by costumed interpreters are scheduled throughout the day.

Exhibits

All fourteen buildings in the fort are restored and open to the public. They are furnished with period settings highlighting the building’s particular function or a themed exhibit. Special exhibits include:

  • Mackinac, An Island Famous in These Regions on the second floor of the Soldier’s’ Barracks presents the full history of Mackinac Island. 
  • Military Medicine at Mackinac: 1780-1895 in the Post Hospital explores medical care at the fort and changing nineteenth-century medical practices. 
  • Kids’ Quarters features hands-on displays and interactive games.

Audiovisual Programs

Heritage of Mackinac is featured in the Post Commissary, providing an overview history of Mackinac. It repeats every 20 minutes.

Instagram post 17888474118428293 This postcard depicts Anne's Tablet, a memorial to the 19th-century author Constance Fenimore Woolson on Mackinac Island, Michigan (the USA). 
The Art Nouveau sculptural installation, created by William Ordway Partridge, was erected in 1919. It consists of a bronze plaque set into a stone structure with benches. The tablet is a memorial to Woolson, who spent her summers on Mackinac Island as a girl and set her most famous novel, Anne, there. It is located on a bluff just east of Fort Mackinac and offers a scenic view of the area.
