About the Business
The Mackinac State Historic Park British Landing Nature Center, located at 3494 Lake Shore Drive on Mackinac Island in Michigan, is a museum dedicated to showcasing the natural beauty and rich history of the area. Visitors can explore the wonders of Arch Rock, skip rocks at Windermere Point, and learn about the fascinating stories of Fort Mackinac and Colonial Michilimackinac.
The institution offers various seasonal positions for those interested in working and living in the Straits of Mackinac, including roles in guest services, interpretation, and park operations. Artists are also encouraged to share their interpretations of what "Mackinac Rocks!" means to them through various media.
The Mackinac Island State Park Visitor's Center, located on Main Street, opens for the 2024 season, along with Fort Mackinac, which kicks off the season with a cannon blast at 9:00 a.m. The historic interpreters at Colonial Michilimackinac wear authentic outfits that help tell the story of the area's past, including the intriguing tale of Lt. James Hamilton and his "Unlucky Affair."
Visitors can also learn about the experiences of the residents of Michilimackinac in the summer of 1781 as they navigated the challenges of moving from one place to another. With its rich history, stunning natural landscapes, and engaging exhibits, the Mackinac State Historic Park British Landing Nature Center is a must-visit destination for those interested in the history and beauty of Mackinac Island.
