What better way to wind down your day in the Straits of Mackinac than by firing off Michilimackinac’s weapons? Imagine it – you step into Colonial Michilimackinac and, as you make your way to the palisade walls, you find that it’s emptying out and you have the place to yourself. From there, you fire all four of the black powder weapons used at Michilimackinac – the Short Land Musket, Wall Gun (a BIG musket), Coehorn Mortar, and, as the finale, the cannon. For $200 ($150 for Mackinac Associates (excluding Heritage Level)), you get the opportunity to learn about these four weapons and take a turn at firing each one. This experience also includes two tickets to Colonial Michilimackinac. This special experience is available for one person every day at fort closing (4:30 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. depending on season), May 10-October 5.
