The city-operated museum and park portray a vivid picture of life in the Straits of Mackinac over 300 years ago when Ojibwa, Huron, Odawa and French lifestyles met at this protected bay.

Museum exhibits show Ojibwa Indian culture and traditions, the French contact period, and the site's rich archaeology.

Outdoor exhibits and a long house explain Huron life here.
