  • 2019 ANNUAL REPORT the Mackinac Island State Park Commission Was Created by the Michigan Legislature on May 31, 1895
    2019 ANNUAL REPORT The Mackinac Island State Park Commission was created by the Michigan legislature on May 31, 1895. The commission’s purpose was to administer Michigan’s first state park, which had previously been Mackinac National Park, the United States’ second national park, from 1875 to 1895. The commission’s jurisdiction was extended in 1909 to Michilimackinac State Park in Mackinaw City, Michigan’s second state park. Over 80 percent of Mackinac Island is now included within the boundaries of Mackinac Island State Park, which also contains Fort Mackinac historic site. Colonial Michilimackinac and Old Mackinac Point Lighthouse are located within Michilimackinac State Park. In 1983 the commission also opened Historic Mill Creek Creek State Park, east of Mackinaw City. The historic sites and parks are together known as Mackinac State Historic Parks. Annual visitation to all these parks and museums is nearly 1,000,000. Mackinac State Historic Parks has been accredited by the American Alliance of Museums since 1972.
