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. From early Native American settlements; French explorers; and fur traders to Mackinaw City founding father Edgar Conkling�s vision to build a business center upon the south shore of the Mackinac Straits; Mackinaw City does not disappoint anyone who visits it. 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.
