In 1776, the American War of Independence impacted life at Michilimackinac. While the site remained loyal to the Crown, the American Revolution forced the British military to reconsider its defenses, and the French and Native residents were forced to take sides or attempt to remain neutral. Throughout the 2026 season the year 1776 will be explored, including a daily program at 1:30 p.m.
