As the calendar flips to 2025, the Mackinac State Historic Parks team is hard at work protecting, preserving, and presenting the rich history of the Straits of Mackinac by creating new exhibits, galleries, and tours, improving visitor experiences, celebrating a major anniversary, expanding our collections area and library, and finishing major infrastructure improvements on Mackinac Island.
Mackinac Associates are friends preserving and sharing Mackinac’s heritage, providing crucial support in the development of new MSHP exhibits.
Mackinac Associates, the friends group for Mackinac State Historic Parks, hosts several member events. Two are named after prominent Mackinac figures. Why? And who?
Enchanting. Relaxing. Magical. Mackinac evokes so many memories and images of a special place that has allowed individuals and families to create memories and unique experiences.
Mackinac Associates helps fund projects both large and small and this past year was no exception with nearly $200,000 in projects sponsored across Mackinac State Historic Parks sites and operations.
In 1982, Mackinac Associates received its official 501(c)(3) status, and the organization that we know and love was officially born. Learn more here:
