Fort Mackinac Description

In the late 1770s the British decided to change sites and chose the high bluffs of Mackinac Island. During 1780-81, Fort Mackinac, under the command of Lt. Governor Patrick Sinclair, was relocated on the island and many of the wooden structures replaced with stone buildings.

The 14 original buildings at Fort Mackinac include interactive exhibits and a children's play area. The 1880s soldier interpreters play concerts of military music, fire rifles on the grounds, and provide a cannon salute over the harbor.
