Historic Mackinac Week

Recommended for grades 2-6

Historic Mackinac comes to life through exciting demonstrations and hands-on activities. With the help of costumed interpreters, students step back in time to learn about the importance of Fort Mackinac, the work that women performed in support of the soldiers and how musical instruments were used to communicate across distances, along with other details about colonial life.

Dates: March 1-4, 2016

Group Size: Maximum of 60 students

Cost: $225

We are happy to announce that this year's program is being partially funded by  the Michigan Council for Arts and Cultural Affairs and the Michigan Humanities Council! We will be passing these savings on to schools. Additionally, we are offering schools the option to add a Detroit Historical Museum tour program to your itinerary for $3 per person. (Our standard tour price is $5 per person.)

If your schools have a free and reduced lunch rate of 65% or higher you may qualify for additional funds through our Adopt-A-Class Program. Funds are being allocated on a first come first serve basis and program spots are limited.
