Winter on Mackinac Island is a special time of year.
It’s time for another dive into our collections!
With winter settling in on the Straits of Mackinac, you may wonder: what did the historic residents of Michilimackinac do when they got cold?
She lived her, too. Marie Constance Chevalier was one of the few people who made Michilimackinac their permanent home in the early years of Michilimackinac’s history.

It was 110 years ago that the Chief Wawatam was side launched, and it remained active on the Straits of Mackinac until 1984.
