North Sally Port (FORT)

BASIC KNOWLEDGE: The North Sally Port is the original rear entrance to Fort Mackinac. It was built by the Americans shortly after they first garrisoned the Fort in 1796. The wall is designed to resist heavy artillery fire. The name Sally Port comes from a French term that means “burst forth suddenly.” The sally port is a gate or passageway in a fortified place for use of troops making a Sortie (sortie- a sudden issuing of troops from a defensive position against the enemy). On July 17, 1812 American troops marched through this gate to surrender to the British.

Parade Ground (FORT) – Upper and Lower BASIC KNOWLEDGE: For 115 years the fort’s soldiers marched and drilled on the Parade Ground. Today, costumed interpreters recreate an 1885 court-martial and rifle firings on the Parade Ground. The Parade Ground is an excellent place to point out to visitors the fort’s three strategically placed blockhouses, and the Fort’s unique fire prevention system. The Officer’s Stone Quarters is considered to be the oldest building in the state of Michigan. It is the only building in the fort dating from the original British occupation of 1780.

Upper Gun Platform (FORT) BASIC KNOWLEDGE: Fort Mackinac’s main batteries (cannons) were located on the upper and lower gun platforms.

McGulpin House (DOWNTOWN) BASIC KNOWLEDGE: The McGulpin house is one of the oldest private residences in Michigan. Built in the late 1700s, the house is an excellent example of early French-Canadian architecture. Unlike “lincon log” style log cabins, the McGulpin house uses “dovetail” joints. (the logs are squared off or flattened on the sides and joined at the corners). The roof is a steep-pitched and has a large half-story attic. Cedar bark is used on the roof, which is typical of the French-Canadian style. Cedar was readily available and was effective at keeping out the rain. The McGulpin house was purchased by the Mackinac State Historic Parks in 1982 and moved from its original location behind St. Anne’s Catholic Church to its current location at the corner of Fort and Market streets. The building has been restored to its appearance in the 1820s when William McGulpin first bought the house. (See History section above to learn more about the McGulpins.)
