I didn't know this story about Dr. William Beaumont.

"Beaumont was the only doctor on the island when it happened.

At the time, Beaumont didn’t think he could save St. Martin’s life, but he was wrong (and St. Martin managed to live another 58 years afterward). "

Legal issues between the City of Mackinac Island and ferry owners.

""Either can walk away from the other, which could hurt both.

So, unless the Ferry Companies are willing to walk away from the Island altogether and the City is willing to start some other passenger transportation system from scratch — both of which seem unlikely — the parties should spend less time and money fighting over the last two seasons of the 15-year franchise."

The Grand Hotel

A timeless view of Mackinac Island’s Grand Hotel, its sweeping white façade and iconic 660‑foot porch evoke 19th‑century elegance. Arriving by horse‑drawn carriage, guests step into history while overlooking Lake Huron’s sparkling waters. Vintage charm and majestic architecture make this landmark a symbol of classic American hospitality.
