Rich in history; magnificent in scenery; and abundant in hospitality; Mackinaw City lies at the very tip of Michigan�s Lower Peninsula and is the area�s own majestic playground.

Due to its strategic location on the crossroads of the Great Lakes; this area has always been a gathering place for early inhabitants. When the railroad arrived in the late 1800s; it provided needed transportation with unique railroad and car ferries to and from Michigan�s Upper Peninsula. Today Mackinaw City still enjoys the distinction of being one of the most popular historical resort areas in Michigan. Through the insight of talented individuals who had the foresight to capture history with the interesting and colorful medium of the postcard; one is able to learn and smile at Mackinaw days gone by.
