A Desirable Station: Enlisted Soldiers at Fort Mackinac, 1884-1890

A Desirable Station: Enlisted Soldiers at Fort Mackinac, 1884-1890

Exhibit inside the Soldier’s Barracks (1859)
Fort Mackinac, Mackinac Island

New for 2025! This exhibit interprets the lives and duties of the enlisted soldiers stationed at Fort Mackinac in the 1880s. Using one of only three known historic photos of Fort Mackinac’s interiors as a guide, this exhibit will blend a traditional gallery space with a period setting representing a barracks squad room in the late 1880s. #thisismackinac
