Introducing our Mackinac Island, Michigan tours
Mackinac Island banned automobiles in 1898 and never let them back. The only traffic today is hooves, bicycle bells, and the occasional golf cart - which is why Universal Studios shot Somewhere in Time here without changing a thing. The island already looked like 1912.
But frozen in time became the pitch, and pitches attract crowds. On summer afternoons, Main Street fills with day-trippers locals call fudgies, drawn in by the candy shops and gone by the last ferry, having seen the fort, bought the fudge, and missed almost everything else.
VoiceMap's self-guided audio tours take you past the fort's ramparts and further - Fort Mackinac's one critical vulnerability, the Hamilton sisters' cottage on East Bluff, Arch Rock and the cave locals call Devil's Kitchen. Cycle the eight-mile ring road with a former production assistant's stories from the Somewhere in Time shoot, or hear how Madame La Framboise, a woman of Ojibwe and French descent, built a fur empire here before Astor ever tried.
Earbuds in, carriage optional. Walk Mackinac at whatever century suits you.
