SUMMARY:Cottages of Mackinac Island\, a Mackinac National Park: 150 Event
DESCRIPTION:Mackinac National Park was created in 1875. However\, the question of how the amenities of such a park would be paid for persisted. One solution was to grant leaseholds on the East and West Bluffs. Since the 1840s wealthy island visitors had expressed interest in constructing cottages on the bluffs of Mackinac Island. By 1882 Captain Edwin Sellers reported that more than seven leases had been executed\, and in 1885 the first summer cottages went up on the bluff. Join Chief Curator Craig Wilson for a walking tour of the East Bluff\, pointing out historic cottages\, and digging deeper into the unique relationship that dates back to Mackinac National Park. This walking tour begins at the Fort Mackinac Avenue of Flags and will travel about a mile along the East Bluff. This is a free program – donations welcome. #thisismackinac

SUMMARY:Soldiers in the Park\, a Mackinac National Park: 150 Event
DESCRIPTION:As the idea for Mackinac National Park was being debated in the Senate and House in the mid-1870s\, the idea had a few factors working in its favor: one\, the U.S. government already owned the land; and two\, the troops garrisoned at Fort Mackinac could care for the grounds\, which would help ease and significant cost required for park maintenance. Did it work out this way? And what did the soldiers do in the park? Join Mackinac State Historic Parks Chief Curator Craig Wilson for a guided bike ride through the former Mackinac National Park as he explains life for soldiers working in Mackinac National Park. Guests must provide their own bicycle. This is a free program – donations welcome. #thisismackinac
