Michilimackinac堡

The great fur trade entrepôt of the upper Great Lakes during the French and British colonial periods, Michilimackinac堡 is also the most intensively excavated French site in the United States.

Established in 1715, the fort became a center of French influence among the region’s 美洲原住民. When the French left the region in 1763, the Odawa leader, Pontiac, orchestrated an attack against all British frontier posts in the west.

Michilimackinac堡 was captured by warriors who had entered the stockade under the pretense of a game of lacrosse to be played for the British troops. 现代重建 interprets both French and British occupations of the fort. 公众可以观察到 excavations conducted every summer.
