  • 100 Years of Michigan State Parks
    1 ourmidland.com 2 Page 2 | Week of May 6 -11, 2019 Which state park was Michigan’s first? As the DNR celebrates the 100th anniversary of Michigan state parks system, a natural question arises – what was Michigan’s first state park? Well, the answer depends on how you interpret the question and isn’t simple. The 2019 state parks centennial celebration is centered around the formation of the Michigan State Park Commission by the state Legislature on May 12, 1919. The commission was given responsibility for overseeing, acquiring and maintaining public lands and establishing Michigan’s state parks system. One of the state’s earliest purchases was the site of Interlochen State Park in 1917. Although the land was purchased prior to 1919, Interlochen was the first public park to be transferred to the Michigan State Park Commission in 1920 and is considered Michigan’s first state park. However, many consider Mackinac Island as Michigan’s first state park, which is also true. Approximately 25 years before legislation estab- lished the state park commission, the federal government gifted the Mackinac Island property it owned to the state in 1895. The island was designat- ed as Michigan’s first state park under the Mackinac State Park Commission. Because Mackinac Island is operated under the Mackinac State Park Commission and was not placed under the Michigan State Park Commission, there is more than one answer to the “first state park” question. Interlochen State Park The Michigan Legislature paid $60,000 for the land that became Interlochen State Park, located southwest of Traverse City, in 1917.

  • 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.

  • It's the Fort Mackinac Never Sweats Vs. the Portland Blue Sox in Vintage
    CONTACT: Dominick Miller [email protected] ® Mackinac State Historic Parks Phone: (906) 847-3328 www.mackinacparks.com FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE July 15, 2020 It’s the Fort Mackinac Never Sweats vs. the Portland Blue Sox in the 18th Annual Vintage Base Ball Game MACKINAC ISLAND, MICH. — Catch the Fort Mackinac Never Sweats take on the Portland Blue Sox in a match of vintage Base Ball on Saturday, July 18, at 6:30 p.m. on the old ball field behind Fort Mackinac, presented by Mary’s Bistro Draught House and the Mackinac Island Tourism Bureau. “The vintage base ball game began in 2003 as a special event with the Summer of Sports, that numerous museums around Michigan took part in,” said Phil Porter, Mackinac State Historic Parks director. “We played a game of vintage base ball not knowing it would become an annual tradition. It is a fan favorite and really enjoyed by the staff and local residents that participate. It’s a fun way to share another chapter of Fort Mackinac’s really interesting part of history.” The vintage base ball game showcases the game of “base ball” as it was meant to be played— barehanded and by gentlemen’s rules. Guests will learn an old-fashioned cheer, watch players fined for smoking cigars on the field, and enjoy a good old-fashioned rivalry. The players will also play using 1880s “base ball” terminology. “The soldiers really did play base ball on the field out there and teams throughout Michigan,” said Porter. “We’re excited to welcome a new opponent to Mackinac Island and the Fort Mackinac ballfield this year in the Portland Blue Sox.
