Just some cool facts about the Island...
Mackinac Island was a Native American Settlement before European Exploration in the 17th century....it was the Great Lakes fur trade. Which then lead to Fort Mackinac on the Island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. Severed as a Fort for two battles during the war 1812.
80 percent of the island is State Park....much of the island is historical preserved. 
The Swimming Pool at The Grand Hotel was built for Esther Williams 1947 This Time for Keeps
1980 Somewhere in Time was filmed mostly on the Island.
