Summer Vacation

Colonial Michilimackinac



We spent one afternoon at Colonial Michilimackinac a 1770's fort and fur trading village. We toured the buildings, tried-on old 3 point beaver-felt hats, watched a musket firing, and saw the new things the archaelogists on sight are still uncovering. It was pretty interesting to see what life was like 200+ years ago; I'll keep my electricity and indoor plumbing. We searched the grounds for the "stocks" to recreate a photo of Deb and her dad in the summer of 1970 but the stocks have been taken out of the fort. Mati was bored by most of the tour but lit up when we found the horses and sheep in the back of the fort. She adores animals!
