costumed interpreters at Fort Mackinac on Mackinac Island, Michigan
The oldest structure in Michigan, and one of the few remaining Revolutionary War-era ruins in the nation, this fort looms high on a bluff overlooking the Straits of Mackinac. Originally a British outpost, Fort Mackinac was conquered by American soldiers 20 years after the Revolution. In addition to housing historic ruins, the Fort hosts Victorian children's games; bagpipe, bugle, and drum corps music; hourly rifle and cannon firings; and military reenactments performed by costumed interpreters. The Tea Room, operated by the Grand Hotel, serves lunch in a cozy interior sometimes warmed by a fragrant fire, and also out on a balcony overlooking the town and lake.
