One of the more unusual archaeological projects to take place at Fort Mackinac was an excavation that took place under a standing structure. The main question that excavation was looking to answer? Who built the Officer’s Wood Quarters, and when was it built?
Mackinac State Historic Parks maintains more than 100 buildings. Most are public, like the buildings inside Colonial Michilimackinac and Fort Mackinac. Others are behind the scenes, like the Petersen Center. Learn more about the administrative office of MSHP here.
The earliest archaeological excavation at Fort Mackinac took place at one of its earliest structures, the British well.

When you visit Colonial Michilimackinac in 2022, if you look in the right place you’ll see a newly reconstructed building.
The 2021 Michilimackinac field season came to a satisfying close in late August. After seven seasons of excavation, we have finally reached the bottom of the southeast root cellar!
It’s hard to believe, but the archaeology field season is at the half-way point. Learn all about how the season has been going here.
