Fort Holmes Tours

Photo by Joel Hayden


Fort Holmes played a key defensive role over the years. Now a historic site, you can just imagine some of the spectacles its mighty walls have witnessed.

This history-filled fortress in Mackinac Island comes recommended by travelers, so make sure it features on your travel itinerary. Don't stop there, though. There are a lot more spots ready for you to experience after Fort Holmes. Mackinac Island State Park, The Jewel at the Grand Hotel, and Mackinac Bridge are not far away.

You must go there. Absolutely beautiful view and reconstructed fort. It's a long hike but worth the exercise. It's free to visit.
