SUMMARY:A Colonial Christmas
DESCRIPTION:The sun sets on the Straits of Mackinac. Fires crackle in stone hearths. The smell of treats and warm beverages fill the crisp winter air.

All the while\, enjoy delicious holiday snacks located throughout the fort. #thisismackinac \nAdults: $15\nChild (5-12): $10\nUnder 4: Free\nMackinac Associates (excluding Heritage level): Free \nTickets available later this summer!
