MSHP Sites Close for Season

All Mackinac State Historic Parks sites will close for the season Sunday, October 8, except Historic Mill Creek in Mackinaw City, which closed Sunday, September 24.

Historic Mill Creek closed early for construction work to replace support timbers on a water-powered sawmill before

cold weather intervenes. The timbers, which were embedded in Mill Creek 22 years ago to hold up the sawmill, are rotting from exposure to water and will be replaced by metal supports encased in wood. Historic Mill Creek will reopen to the public in May 2007.

All sites will re-open in early May 2007.
