Colonial Michilimackinac

Next to the Big Mac bridge (its visitor center is actually beneath the bridge) is Colonial Michilimackinac, a National Historic Landmark that features a reconstructed stockade first built in 1715 by the French. Costumed interpreters cook and craft here.

A combination ticket for this site, Historic Mill Creek and the Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse is available at a discount.
