Description
By 1882 two railroads (the Michigan Central and Grand Rapids and Indiana) had their terminus at Mackinaw, with another connecting the Upper Peninsula via St. Ignace (the Mackinac and Marquette). These railroads formed the Mackinac Transportation Company to haul railroad cars between the peninsulas and complete the transportation link between upper and lower Michigan. Their first ferry was the Algomah, providing scheduled, reliable service and solidifying Mackinaw City’s role as a vital transportation link.
We have worked diligently over the years to develop Mackinaw City into a place where group tours, motorcoach guests, convention groups and student groups can truly feel welcome, safe, and at home. We've embraced the best of the old while encouraging fresh and creative ideas to meet the needs of visitors to our area. If you visited us in years past, we encourage you to come back. There is always something new to discover in Mackinaw City! That is just one of the reasons why we have become Michigan's Favorite Vacation Getaway.
