Pleasantly surprised by this small but rich museum which tells the interesting story of the Ojibwa people who live in Michigan. Very good introductory video and several interesting displays and artifacts. Don't miss the outdoor displays, which include a traditional long house. Well worth stopping for. Easy parking around the museum.

Boasting an impresive collection, the Fort de Buade museum houses items spanning more than 17,000 years, including Native Amerian artifacts, Colt firearems, and the enigmatic Newberry Stones. Every history buff will find something to pique their interest. Located within the museum is the McKenney & Hall Gallery, a stunning showcase featuring digtal imiages of Native American dignitaries from the early 1800s who visited Washington D.C. The oil portraits were destroyed by fire in 1865, but thanks to the foresight of Thomas McKenney, head of the Bureau of Indian Affairs at that time, lithographs had been created and preserved the images for the future. The complete set of copies of 120 portraits hang in the gallery. Admission to museum is by donation. Visit our webpage for current events and hours of operation and current . Tour groups welcome by appointment. Fort de Buade Museum is owned and operated by the Michilimackinac Historical Society

Murdick's Original Mackinac Island Fudge and Peanut Brittle is also handcrafted in St. Ignace daily with only the finest of Michigan Ingredients from our original 1887 recipe!
This was the best tasting fudge we have ever had in the area. Their prices are great and the lady working was very pleasant. I especially like the hours they are open. We were able to grab some fudge before we left town in the morning.

The place grabs you from the street, cute and eye-catching but it is the smell that wafts through the door that forces you to cross the threshold. So many things to love Coming from Connecticut, I had no idea that the upper Peninsula of Michigan was fresh fudge central. Grateful for it at the moment, but was a surprise. The fudge case on the right was what I saw first — there are many varieties to choose from but I pointed out the basic chocolate, basic vanilla, and the mint chocolate chip to put in the take-home box. All three were sweet and absolutely smooth; nothing worse than lumpy or gritty fudge. Heavy in weight but light on the tongue and rich in flavor. Took a few of the separate chocolates to try as well; all were incredibly fresh and delicious. The chocolate covered Oreos and the chocolate covered toffee were especially notable. The lovely sales associate was extremely pleasant and inviting, and offered a bit of local history when inquiries were made to some of the stones available on the counter. Besides for the sweet offerings, this venue is a small gift shop with boxed treats in back such as salt water taffy and fresh popcorn in bags in front. We will be back for more

My 20 year old son spent $10 and won $375 playing the slot machines. I always lose but that’s okay, it was fun to see his excitement. Because he is a minor, he checked in at Rewards Desk and they stamped his hand and notified management that a “minor was on the floor.” As a parent, I think their minor policy is an excellent way to keep everyone honest and safe. We had so much fun, we told our hotel about his win so they gave us a $10 coupon to use on our next visit. We planned on just one night at the casino but because of the coupons, we returned two more times. My son still came home with some money in his pocket. I am a different story. I paid for his win and then some! We spend a couple weeks each year in St. Ignace and look forward to our next visit in October. The casino was clean and well kept. Only complaint was long line at Rewards Desk. One person working with a line of 6 people signing up for reward cards. We waited over 20 minutes to get our son’s hand stamped.
