    Ghastly Mackinac

    8:30 p.m. - 9:30 p.m.

    Over 115 years of death, disease, and deranged discipline have left its eerie mark within this stone fortress, leaving behind stories of truth that are much stranger than fiction. Feel the chill of evening air winding down your spine while touring the very places where it all happened nearly 200 years ago.

    May not be suitable for younger children.
