I've visited Seaman Mineral Museum several times, and every time I see new things and new displays; really amazing things, especially the Copper Country rocks and minerals. The Fluorescent mineral display is world class. Don't miss this Museum.

I recently visited this museum while on bicycle tour. Loved it so much I returned for a second look. Extremely well designed with a perfect balance between the local human culture/community and the technological aspects of the discovery and iron mining industry years. This is a real gem and I highly recommend.

7. Fort Mackinac

4.5 based on 2,023 reviews
Iconic. The cannon blasts, the rifles fire, the soldiers march and history comes alive. The oldest building in Michigan and 13 other historical structures boast exhibits explaining everything from military training and battles to medical treatments to family life within the fort. More than just a military outpost, Fort Mackinac served as a home for soldiers and their families and eventually the headquarters for Mackinac National Park, where tourists to the island visited the great fortress on the bluff, much like they do today. This is Mackinac.

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.

This is a must see if visiting Marquette, MI. Spend the extra money and go out to the lighthouse. Our tour guide was a retired nurse doing this on her weekends! You could tell she loved her job!!
