During the height of the American Revolution, the mainland community of Michilimackinac moved to Mackinac Island. Households, businesses, and entire buildings were transported across six miles of water to create the fort and town that remain on Mackinac Island today. The sloop Welcome, built for Michilimackinac merchant John Askin, played a key role in the move. Join Chief Curator Craig Wilson for a look at the eclectic history of this little vessel, including its surprising 20th century afterlife. This program will be presented via Zoom. A link to the presentation will be sent in the days leading up to program. Wednesday, January 28, 7pm Cost: $10 Click here to register for this program.
