Our History

Friends Preserving and Sharing Mackinac’s Heritage

What started as a group of a dozen local residents and friends of the park has grown into a friend’s group that today is made up of more than 2,000 annual and seasonal members. Mackinac Associates’ supporters can be proud that they are part of an organization that funds needed projects in every area of museum operation including interpretive programs, publications, exhibits, natural history education, park improvements and more.

This is a brief overview of our history up until now - our Mackinac Associates Milestones.
