reenactors were nice and informational. Need more for kids to make learning fun. The new building is neat. The priest went out of his way to inform you of the past. The lady cooking made the south side smell amazing.

A restoration of many fort structures and houses. Cannon and musket demonstrations. On going archeology digs. An educational day viewing artifacts and history.

I highly recommend Colonial Michilimackinac! I don't care if you are young or old, singles, a couple, family of small children or teens, this place is great. It is very educational and fun. The cannon fire re-inactment is a must see! My husband and I spent a few hours just walking around and talking to the actors who work there.... More

Smiling faces and educational activities...a great combination. Stop by and say hello to the blacksmith. He's one of the few who still use charcoal instead of bituminus coal for fuel in his forge. Very interesting.

It is a great place to visit once, but not a great repeat visit. There is plenty to see and do, especially if you have young kids, and if you're a history geek, you are bound to be... More

LIVING HISTORY! Great exhibits and demonstrations. A peice of Michigan history that everyone should see for themselves.

We have returned to the Fort again and again over the years, and it just keeps getting better and better. If you are interested in archeology or history at all, please visit this site. (And if you are not, after you come here, you will be!) The reenactments are first rate and the displays are interesting and informative. We have... More
