Highlights
Mackinac Island's West Bluff is one of the Midwest's finest collections of Victorian architecture, built by industrialists escaping the heat and grime of post-Civil War cities. On this self-guided walking tour, you'll trace the stories behind eleven of these grand cottages, from the lumber barons and meat-packers who built them to the governors and immigrants who shaped their legacy. The tour starts at the Walter C. Newberry Cottage, the first home past the Grand Hotel. You'll walk along the bluff, passing Queen Anne turrets, wraparound verandas, and shingle-style facades, while hearing how wealthy families competed for leases on this National Park land starting at just $25 a year. Along the way, you'll discover how business partnerships, family dynasties, and architectural rivalries played out side by side on this single stretch of shoreline.

About Mackinaw City
Mackinaw City is a small resort town at the northern tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, beside the Mackinac Bridge and the ferries to Mackinac Island.
Mackinaw City stands at the northern tip of Michigan's Lower Peninsula, where Lake Huron and Lake Michigan meet in the Straits of Mackinac. The Mackinac Bridge, a suspension bridge about eight kilometres long opened in 1957, leaps from here to St Ignace in the Upper Peninsula. Colonial Michilimackinac, a reconstructed French fur-trading fort of the 1700s, stands on the shore beside the bridge, with archaeologists often at work.
