Mission Point is located on the southeast side of Mackinac Island, Michigan. It's about 21 acres between Robinson Folly and the pier that stops near Franks Street. The island has a documented European development history that began with French Jesuit missionaries who landed at a point in 1634, less than two decades after the Pilgrim landed on Plymouth Rock on the East Coast of North America.
Since then, development at Mission Point has included Mission House, summer homes, several summer Victorian cottages, conference centers for international groups, theaters, movie studios, campuses and holiday resorts. Mission Point overlooks Round Island (Michigan) across the Strait of Mackinac, the main waterway between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. In the early 21st century, Mission Point has been developed as Mission Point Resort, a full-service facility including guest lodging, three restaurants, putting green, museum and theater.

Prasejarah Mackinac Island Edit
For thousands of years before the arrival of Europeans, Mackinac Island was home to Chippewa (Anishinaabeg), Huron, Menominee, Potawatomi, Ojibwe, Ottawa, and other Native American Indians. They enjoy the look of aurora borealis, pure fresh water, ice-locked winters, quiet snowstorms, trees and spring birds, delightful summers, and autumn foliage. This is portrayed in the memory by an Indian chief: "The Great Spirit allows a peaceful silence to live around you, when only a light and comfortable wind is permitted to pass you, hardly wincing the mirrored surface of the water that surrounds you, or hearing on twilight , the voices of the Giant Fairies as they, with fast paced and whirlwinds, dance their mystical dances in your lime lime.There is nothing to disturb your solitude and solitude, but the pieces of birds and the rustling of silver-barked birch leaves. "Jean Nicolet and Pastor BarthÃÆ' © lemy Vimont was the first European known to pass the Strait of Mackinac (1634-1635). They were guided there by a small group of Huron Indians 14 years after the Pilgrim landed at Plymouth Rock. Other French colonies have settled in eastern Quebec. In 1642, Fr. Vimont documents the journey in 'The Jesuit Relations' ( Relations des JÃÆ' Â © suite de la Nouvelle-France ). Near Mackinac Island, Nicolet and his colleagues meet with members of the peaceful Ho-Chunk State (Winnebago Tribe).
Jesuit Pastors Charles Dablon and Jacques Marquette founded the Catholic mission at Mackinac Island, St.. Ignace, and Mackinaw City. Fr. Dablon built the birchbark chapel on Mackinac Island in 1670. In 1671 Fr. Jacques Marquette moves mission to St. Ignace on the Upper Peninsula. After that moved to Mackinaw City. Britain took over in 1763, after defeating France in the Seven Years War - their government surrendered their territory in North America east of the Mississippi River to England.
Finally, in 1780 the mission was transferred to Mackinac Island, where Britain bought property from India for  £ 5,000. Fort Mackinac was also moved from the mainland to the island, and Major Sinclair became his first commander. That winter the city's associated residents moved to the island, becoming the first "white" permanent settlement on Mackinac Island.

Development of Missions Edit
Robinson Folly (1780s ) Edit
In 1782 the English captain Daniel Robertson (1733-1810) became commander of Fort Mackinac. Captain Robertson built a small summer house on high limestone that jutted less than a mile away from the Fort on the southeast corner of the island (Mission Point today). This small building is the first structure recorded in Mission Point. It was frequented by Robertson, his son, and fellow officers. Reportedly, there is no hospitality or entertainment there that is complete without pipes, cigars, and wine. Robertson is served by his house slaves, Jean and Marie-Jean Bonga. Among their children is Pierre Bonga, who became a leading feather trader in the British Northwest Company and later with the American Fur Company. Robertson freed these slaves when he was transferred from Fort Mackinac. They stayed and the parents opened a small hotel.
Robertson ordered Fort Mackinac through 1787, when he went to post as a major in the British army in Montreal, Quebec. Eventually he became a colonel in the army and collected 5,000 acres in the land of grants for himself and his four children. After several years of cliff crumbling, drop the summer house 127 feet down into the path and the lake below. The remaining and steep cliffs are then called 'Robertson's Folly' and then (for reasons unknown) Robinson Folly. Many stories have been attached to this site. Part of this Mission Point is the easternmost point of the island.
Mission House (1825) Edit

Christian missions are often the first post of European colonization on the North American border. The United Union of Foreign Missionaries established a Protestant mission in Mackinac Island in 1822. The aim was to train Indian youth as teachers of English, Christianity and the majority of American ways, and as translators. To support this mission, the US government transferred 12 acres at the southeast end of the island to the Society. The Connecticut Missionary Society sent Pastor William Montague Ferry to the island, and he opened a school with twelve Indian children on November 3, 1823. He was assisted by his wives, Amanda White Ferry and Elizabeth McFarland. The school building is framed and flanked by workers from Detroit, using wood obtained from sawmill at Mill Creek (6 mi SE from Mackinaw Town at present). In 1825, the 2-story 'House of Mission' development was completed by Martin Heydenburk, one of the school teachers. Since the island does not have a Protestant church, the east wing of the Mission House is equipped with a removable partition so that on Sunday it becomes a chapel. Immediate enrollment of an average of 150 Native American students per year with & gt; 100 received free board, space, and clothing from the mission family. The southeast point of Mackinac Island is known as Mission Point.
Designed as a residence and boarding school, Mission House is also home to mission families. Students at school are gathered from tribes around the Great Lakes and upstream of Mississippi, as well as from over 1000 miles away. More than 500 Indian girls and boys plus children from missionary families were educated at school. This area is a peaceful gathering place for many tribes, with as many as 1,500-2,000 people trading and engaging in friendly friendships. Mackinac Island is also the headquarters of John Jacob Astor's monopoly, American Fur Company.
The Mission House operated successfully for a decade. After the American government began deporting several tribes for reservations west of the Mississippi River in the 1830s, the school had difficulty recruiting students. In 1834, Pdt. Ferry moved to Grand Haven, MI and, in 1836, the missionary community sold the land in Mission Point. Astor retired from the feather trade to invest in New York City real estate for great success. At the end of the 19th century, European-American visitors began to use the island as a summer resort. The mission was officially handed over in 1837 when the State of Michigan was accepted in the United States. Edward Franks bought an unused Mission building in 1845, added a third story, and reopened it as Mission House Hotel in 1849.
The Mission House was owned and operated by the Franks until 1939. They sold it and the hotel was converted into a boardinghouse. In 1946, Hon. Miles and Margaret Phillimore bought the property, and provided a place for summer visitors at Moral Re-Armament meetings. In 1965 it was submitted to Mackinac College (1966-1970) and used as a ski lodge. After Mackinac College closed in 1970, it was briefly owned by the Cathedral of Tomorrow. In 1977, Mission House was acquired by Mackinac Island State Park, which restored it and used it to accommodate summer employees in the park.
Little Point Booth and Cedar Point (1882) Edit
In 1882, Alanson Sheley (1809-1892) had two cottages built in Mission Point east of Mission House (then Mission House Hotel). A cottage built by Robert Doud; Today's Mission Theater was built on the western side of the site (below). The second is Cedar Point cottage, located in a courtyard just northeast of Great Hall today (below). When Sheley died, Cedar Point cottage, which served as a summer cottage for the family, went to the Brooks family. The cottage built by Doud went to the Clark family, who then sold it to the Faren family, when it was known as Faren Cottage. In 1948, Pdt. Norman Schwab bought Faren Cottage. He recently sold his family's Small Point home in Maine, and called the Small Point cottage. The Little Point becomes the family's primary residence throughout the year. In 1959, the Schwab family donated the land where their hut stands for the Moral Re-Armament (MRA) group. The plan will use the land for the construction of a movie studio. The cottage was dampened and transported to a site west of Folly Robinson. Small Point Cottage serves as a residence for the Schwab family and several other families over the years. In 1971, John and Lois Findley moved to Mackinac Island to teach at a local school. They rented Small Point and bought it in 1973. They operate Small Point as a bed and breakfast.
Cedar Point cottage was built in 1882 at Mission Point. It was occupied on a seasonal basis during the summer especially by a wealthy family from Detroit. and occupied for years to come: - 1917, Mr. and Mrs. Walter Brooks and Mr. and Mrs. Alanson Brooks from Detroit arrived on Sunday to see the improvements made by the Doud Contractor in their beautiful summer lodge at Cedar Point. -1917, Mr. David Whitney Jr. and the Detroit family arrived Wednesday and occupied the Brooks lodge located at Cedar Point - 1918, Brooks, Alanson S. (Zaidee Hubbard); Brooks, Stanley (Louise B. Patterson) 'Cedar Point lodge', Mackinac Island MI.
In the early 1950s the MRA acquired the land where the Cedar Point lodge was located. The aerial photograph from 1955/1956 shows the Cedar Point lodge in the midst of the construction of the Great Hall Complex. This photo is on display at the MRA Exhibit, located on the fourth floor of the former film studio (below) at Mission Point Resort. Cedar Point cottage then destroyed.
The third cabin of Jimmie Francis is also located in Mission Point. This cottage is located between Studio and Great Hall complex (below). By the end of 1965, it was torn down. The site was excavated with a view to building a thrill theater stage. The theater is not built. Finally an outdoor pool is built on this site.
1915 map Edit
In 1915 Mackinac Island was mapped by Morgan H. Wright, E. M. of Marquette, MI (copyright Edwin O. Wood, 1915). Identified by name on the map are Robinson's Folly and Mission Point. Along the coastline of Mission Point, the south-south-east coast is labeled Ferry Beach and east-south-east coast is labeled Peshtigo Beach. The map also shows a dock that leads to Frank Street currently at the western end of Mission Point. Comparing this map with current Google Maps images, the field in Mission Point seems to be multiplying because of the limestone deposits unearthed from the building construction at Point.
MRA arrived (1942) Edit
In 1942, a multi-national group, friends of the Moral Re-Armament (MRA), led by Dr. Frank N. D. Buchman began meeting together on Mackinac Island. As the number of guests increased, they rented the dilapidated House House House for $ 1; they renovated it as a conference center. In the following years, friends from MRA bought and restored many cottages and houses on the island, including: Mission House (Miles Phillimore), Mapleview (Harold Sack), Little Point ('Faren Cottage,' Norman Schwab), Vrooman Cottage (Lee Vrooman), Stonecliffe, Bennett Hall, Chateau Beaumont, Pine Cottage, La Chance, Reid House, Eastman Building, Webster House and Bonnie Doone. Thousands of MRA conference visitors come to the island every summer. Their business provides jobs for the islanders but is also busy with the usual summer tourists. After discussions with the City Council on the island, MRA representatives finally agreed that they would restrict the development of MRAs on the eastern end of the island. In 1952 MRA began to develop cottages and Mission Point properties.
They started by raising a tent near the Cedar Point and Faren huts. In the summer of 1952, it was replaced by an open warehouse. It is called Cedar Lodge and serves as a conference room and a temporary dining room. In the summer of 1953, the cabin was walled, using wood cut from the Stonecliffe property. Then this is the first building around which the Great Hall complex was built (below).
Mission Point Theater (1955) Edit
The first stone laying ceremony at Mission Point was held by the MRA in October 1954, when a 150-year-old Norwegian pine tree was cut and carried from nearby Bois Blanc Island. The inhabitants of the island of Charles Francis are foremen of construction crews. The woods were pulled across the waters of Huron Lake and drifted to the coastal Mission Point before the straits froze for the winter. They are trimmed into a 60 foot framework for the Mission Point Theater. In addition, 45 tons of original stones were taken by boat for building construction and fireplaces. Other construction materials are stockpiled on the island. During the winter, supplies are brought across ice with a horseback sled or a horse-drawn sled, or flown to the island by a four-seater and transported by horse-drawn carriage to Mission Point. This job provides year-round work for islanders and MRA volunteers. Originally a sturdy old warehouse (Curry Barn) situated between the Theater and Faren Cottage attached to the east side of the Theater. The complete Mission Theater 14,696Ã, ft 2 was seated 575 and dedicated on June 4, 1955. In 1959, when a plan was made to build a studio, the barn was laid on wheels and moved west. the Theater side. It is attached to the side of the stage and fly the gallery, and is integrated into the finished theater structure.
In 1965 the MRA handed the theater to Mackinac College, an institution legally independent of the MRA and hired by the Michigan Board of Education. Professors and students on campus use theater for class and drama and music performances.
When Mackinac College closed in 1970, TV evangelist Rex Humbard bought the building. He put it in his new and non-denominational Bible school. Furthermore, he started using the theater and other buildings as a holiday resort.
In 1977 Humbard sold the property. The theater is part of the new Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center. In late 1987 the theater was sold to John Shufelt, and in 2014 to Dennert O. and Suzanne Ware. It is now used as an Art Center at Mission Point Resort and operated by the Mackinac Arts Council. It's the main movie screen from May to October, featuring movies every night. Great Hall Complex (1956)
Edit
In the winter of 1955, soon after the construction of the Theater, MRA workers began building the Great Hall complex at Mission Point (64,732Ã, ft 2 ). It serves as a convention center and residence for summer MRA meetings. This place surrounds the Cedar Point cottage and includes the Great Hall, the lobby, the veranda, the kitchen, the dining room, the meeting room and the living room (48.330Ã, ft 2 ) named "A building" and "B building" (250 beds in 150 rooms). The Cedar Point cottage was eventually demolished, and the Great Hall complex was dedicated on September 24, 1956. A three-storey link between buildings A and B was added during the winter of 1958. Many of the complex floors of the Great Hall were heated, and the complex housed 1,000 people.
The Great Hall complex is the largest single indoor space on Mackinac Island. It was built by 210 merchants from Mackinac Island and across Michigan. The large teepee-shaped hall has a 51-foot rod cut from one of Norway's last virgin pines in Tahquamenon Falls State Park in Upper Peninsula Michigan. This structure was designed by architect William Woollett; the rolls of 16 culms meet at a height of 36 feet (11 m). The floor area is approximately 7000 ft 2 . A world world is affixed to the top.
Construction began with the delivery of 3,000 tons of supplies and equipment in 1955 before the strait froze for the winter. The people on the project said that the construction was almost stuck in March 1956, when timber was used and the straits were still locked in ice. During a relatively warm weekend, the wind blows ice from the main channel between the island and the mainland. Workers are dynamized ice on board, 36-inch thick ice by mainland sawed, sun shining, ice giving, and barge supply Beaver, manned by volunteer crew, breaks into Mission Point. Over 24 hours, 100 tons of wood and other materials were brought to Mission Point. The ice soon begins to form again, but with additional inventory, the construction continues to finish.
In the spring, Stouffer Company provides furniture for the dining room, Lee Carpets provides extensive wall-to-wall carpeting, and Mackinaw City Friedrich Grebe mason builds a fireplace and many rock carvings. In 1956 after the Great Hall complex finished, Woollett reportedly studied Indian legends about the Great Tepee of an islander. This legend says that the Great Spirit will one day gather the nations under a great tepee, or wigwam, and together they will discover the secret of peace. This story is consistent with the mementos of the people present at the time. It is also consistent with newspaper reports in which Howard Santigo, grandson of the Chackewa Mackinac Indian chief, recounts the same legend about this Great Spirit. In 1893, DH Kelton recounted a similar story where the 'suffering people' of each race and time will be invited to take their boat to the east coast of Mackinac Island, past Arch Rock, and meet the wigwam built from the tallest tree (the house from the great spirit of Gitche Manitou). This story is repeated by E. O. Wood, who suggested in 1918 that the wigwam was transmuted into Sugar Loaf stone. Every spring and summer for a decade after its construction, the Great Hall complex attracts thousands of MRA conference delegates from the US, Asia, Africa and Europe. Then, in 1965, the Great Hall complex was moved to Mackinac College, an institution legally independent of the MRA and hired by the Michigan Board of Education. From 1966 to 1970, the College operated and the Great Hall complex was used throughout the year. The graduation ceremony for Charter Class students on campus was held there in June 1970.
After Mackinac College closed in 1970, TV evangelist Rex Humbard purchased the Great Hall complex for use as part of a nondenominational Bible college (Mackinac College (Humbard)). In 1977 he sold the property, which became the Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center. By the end of 1987 it was sold to John Shufelt, and in 2014 to present owners, Dennert O. and Suzanne Ware.
West Residence (Straits Lodge) (1957) < span> Edit
The West Residence (112,300Ã, ft 2 , now called Straits Lodge) was built by MRA workers from 1956-1957 to expand the lodging for the MRA summer conference. Residence architect William Woollett befriends the owner of Mackinac Island Grand Hotel, W. S. Woodfill. He knows that Woodfill is proud to have "the largest terrace in the world" (660Ã, ft). So because of his friendship, West Residence was designed to be one foot shorter than the Grand Hotel's foyer. It has 400 beds in 225 rooms. The three-storey West Residence finishes with brick and limestone, has a two-storey high entrance with a five-meter (1.5 m) marble-paneled fireplace (Johnson Hall). The Residence accommodates thousands of conference visitors within a decade of its opening.
In 1965, West Residence was transferred to Mackinac College, an institution legally independent of the MRA and hired by the Michigan Board of Education. From 1966 to 1970, colleges used the building as a male dormitory. Underground dwellings housed in campus switchboard, darkroom photography, laundry, office finance, and administrative offices. After Mackinac College closed in 1970, TV evangelist Rex Humbard bought the building for use as part of a non-denominated Bible school. In 1977 Humbard sold the property and became part of the Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center. By the end of 1987 it was sold to John Shufelt, and in 2014 to present owners Dennert O. and Suzanne Ware. Currently called Straits Lodge, it has been painted white.
Building Studio-Fine Arts (1960) Edit
The Studio-Fine Arts Film Building (86,287 feet 2 ) was built by 250 workers from many countries who volunteered to provide their services to the MRA. At the time of construction, Studio has the second largest sound stage in the world and America's second largest television studio. A United Press International reporter claims that the story of the building is "the greatest news of our time." MRA builds a Studio to accommodate film-making and film processing and television programs. The amount of materials and technology aid contributed by RCA, Kliegl Brothers Universal Electric Stage Lighting Company, Clancy Stage Rigging, and others. The sound stage (80 ft x 120 ft) is poured in one mid-winter session all night.
The studio building consists of two main sound stages, exercise room, music, orchestra, costume design, sewing, storage, set design, props, hairdressing, makeup, makeup, art, and sound mixing. In the 1960s these rooms were fully furnished, in addition to the enormous costume section, lighting boards, a film-processing and editing laboratory, and construction shops. This studio has a 108-foot glassed-in tower that from 2013 to 2016 is the Mission Point history museum.
Movies filmed and produced in the Studio include The Crowning Experience (MRA), Midnight Decision (1963, MRA), Voice of the Storm (1964 , MRA), and Somewhere in Time (1980, Universal Pictures). In the summer of 1965, Studio sound stage was the original performance venue of Sing-Out '65, when ~ 7,000 young people from around the world met for the MRA summer conference. Seating was taken for ~ ~ 1000 spectators at the weekly Sing-Out show. In the fall of 1965 the performers began to travel throughout the US and Asia. In 1966, Sing-Out changed its name to Up With People and expanded into several international music players emphasizing personal changes that could lead to social, economic and political change. In late 1965, Studio was transferred to Mackinac College, an institution legally independent of the MRA and hired by the Michigan Board of Education. The point is that many of the floors and spaces of the Studio will provide classrooms and libraries for college. The island's Marshal, however, disapproved of this use, so the studio serves as the Fine Arts Center for campus. The sound stage was then converted into a gymnasium given by High School alongside Island schoolchildren for sport.
After Mackinac College closed in 1970, TV evangelist Rex Humbard bought the Studio and other buildings to use for religious education. In 1977 Humbard sold the property. For the summer of 1979, Universal Studios hired a stage for Somewhere in Time, starring Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. All the cast and crew are guided by "The Inn on Mackinac," then the owner of the Mission Point property. By the end of 1987, the property was sold to John Shufelt, and in 2014 to present owners Dennert O. and Suzanne Ware. Peter Harow Memorial Library (1966) Edit
The use of the Studio as a library and classroom building was banned by Mackinac fire marshal, so the construction of the library for Mackinac College (1966-1970) was a priority. In the autumn of 1965 a $ 1,500,000 reward from Mr. and Mrs. W. Van Alan Clark (honorary Chairman of Avon Products, Inc.) began planning for the Peter Howard Memorial Library (capacity of 100,000 books, 36,000 feet 2 ), a name for British journalists, playwrights and writers who ( short) head of the MRA (born 1908 - died 1965). The grass south of Huron Street in Mission Point was chosen as a place for the library. In 1964-1965, the grass became the arena for athletic games at the MRA summer conference.
The library was designed by Edwin B. Cromwell from Ginocchio, Cromwell Associates, Little Rock, Arkansas. The construction crew includes men from the US, Canada, Japan, and other countries (see details at Clark Conference Center, below). It was a three-story building with a protruding roof canopy and an elongated roof window; on the 3rd floor, this window provides great views of Lake Huron and Round Island. Ice chunks hang from the roof in winter. In 1966 when Mackinac College opened its doors, more than 10,000 books were stocked in the library. In addition to books, stacks, and book improvement areas, the 3-storey library provides classrooms, language labs, and study areas. When Mackinac College closed in 1970, the books were donated to Lake Superior State College (now University). Unused, the library becomes damaged by leaks and fungi. It lies along the coastline, where cycling of the Great Lakes' water level has previously created a freshwater swamp in this area. In 1970, the water level rose into the basement. Due to this problem, the building was torn down between 1990 and 1992.
Clark Conference Center for Arts and Sciences (1968) Edit
In 1967, Mackinac College (1966-1970) at Mission Point needed conference rooms, science laboratories, and more classrooms. This led to the construction of the Clark Center for Arts and Sciences (81.057Ã, ft 2 ), which was also designed by Edwin B. Cromwell. It was paid with donations from Mr. and Mrs. Van Alan Clark (hon Chairman Avon Products, Inc.). The construction superintendent reports that Clark Center and Peter Howard Library were built by more than 325 volunteers from 13 different countries. The cost of room, meals, and travel for these workers is covered by the college. Including 115 Native Americans from tribal groups throughout the United States and Canada. Twenty four volunteers came from South Korea, 16 from Japan, 9 from Denmark, 8 from Jamaica, 7 from Indonesia, 2 from Finland and 1 from Mexico, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland and Trinidad and Tobago. Some skilled traders are training others in their trading skills. Many report that living and working with others from such different backgrounds develops their respect for cultural, racial and national differences. Some eventually became students on campus.
The Clark Center development continued during the fall and winter of 1967, and the building was ready for use in the third academic year of Mackinac College, September 1968. Located right in front of Theater and Fine Arts, 18-inch Clark Center - a thick concrete roof supporting the railroad which leads from the Mission Building and West Residence building to the Great Hall. The rooftop square features views of the playground and the Mackinac Strait. During the college years, the building includes 30 classrooms, a laboratory, an office, a sitting room, a 300-seat lecture recital hall, and a l50-seat natural science display room.
The Clark Center stands out in a 1970 graduation ceremony for the Mackinac College Charter Class. In 1971 the building was sold with the entire campus to TV evangelist Rex Humbard. In 1977 Humbard sold campus centers and other properties to the Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center. By the end of 1987 it was sold to John Shufelt with the rest of the campus, and in 2014 to Dennert O. and Suzanne Ware; it has been adapted as Mission Point Resort.
Mission Point Resort (since 1987) Edit
Major changes were made after the Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center was purchased by John Shufelt in 1987. The name was changed from The Mackinac Hotel and Conference Center to Mission Point Resort, an assumption about the region's history as home to Mission Church and Mission. Home. Vision Mission Point Resort is to create a friendly, inspiring, and relaxing atmosphere for guests. Abandoned buildings are transformed into more functional and visually appealing spaces. The Howard Library was torn down to create Front Lawn, which is now home to the famous gazebo and Adirondack grass chairs in Mission Point. Many restaurants added, including Chianti, Round Island Bar & amp; Grill, and Bistro on the Greens.
The Resort Theater has been renamed the Art Center, which now hosts movie shows, art exhibitions by local artists, and many craft workshops. It works with the Mackinac Arts Council, the non-profit art agency of Mackinac Island.
Mission Point is also a popular wedding and conference destination. It has ample conference rooms at the Conference Center and several location options for wedding ceremonies and receptions. The resort is open from early May to late October and reopened for a few days around New Year's Eve.
Mission Point Resort was purchased in 2014 by Dennert O. and Suzanne Ware of San Antonio, Texas, which also owns Silver Birches on Mackinac Island. The Wares is planning a multi-million dollar property upgrade over the next few years that will include an expansion of the spa and pool complex and guestroom improvements.
Water treatment plant 1986 Edit
The Mackinac Island Water Treatment Plant is located east of Mission Point and Folly Robinson on the coastline. It supplies drinking water to almost everyone on the Island. This is in the former Mackinac Island State Park property submitted to City of Mackinac Island, and was built in 1985/1986. This plant replaces the "Power House" pumping station north of Arch Rock. The plant uses membrane microfiltration to filter water from Lake Huron and is rated 2.7 million gallons per day.
