If you ever dreamed what it would be like to step back in time, Mackinac Island can make that dream a reality. Located in Lake Huron, it served as a center for the Great Lakes fur trade back in the 17th century.  No motorized vehicles are permitted on the island (accept for emergency vehicles).  Transportation is made by horse, horse and carriage, bikes, roller-blades, and during the winter snowmobiles are permitted. 

As early as the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a tourist attraction.  The island has gone to great lengths to preserve and restore the forts, buildings, walls, churches, and other establishments.  The entire Island is a National Historic Landmark.  One of the most fascinating buildings on Mackinac Island is the Grand Hotel.
