Mackinac Island is home to two historic forts, Fort Mackinac and Fort Holmes. The most recognizable and visited is Fort Mackinac which overlooks the downtown on Mackinac Island. Fort Mackinac is home to soldiers in uniform, rifle and cannon demonstrations, and the sounds of military drumming. Fort Holmes is a small ring fortification and can be a hike to reach but it has an amazing views from the highest point on the island. (Santino Mattioli & Neil Blake | MLive)
