A SALUTE TO HISTORIC ST. IGNACE, MICHIGAN - MICHIGAN HISTORY
When I was a kid we often vacationed in St. Ignace. Then when I got married my wife and I spent the first night of our honeymoon there. When we divorced our last weekend together was there. St. Ignace is one of my favorite places in the entire state! At one of the hotels overlooking the bridge I wrote a four part article about the area which was published in Indian Artifacts Magazine. In that same three day period I wrote two booklets which I believe can still be bought at Totem Village. Anyway this sights of this historic place are very close to my heart. Please be sure to give a thumbs up, comment and subscribe.
Fort de Buade Museum
In the late 1600s, a French military fort was built in St. Ignace. Fort de Buade was the first military presence in the region, dating back to 1683. It stood watch over the nearby Native villages, French settlements, and the Jesuit compound while sending a message to the British about expansion into the Great Lakes region. More than 300 years later, Fort de Buade Museum sits near the same site with some of the same weaponry, garments, and other artifacts. Exhibits and dioramas depict 18th and 19th century life in St. Ignace, making this a must-visit for true understanding of the area's history.

I'd just read about these Tiffany glass mosaics that decorated the lobby of the 19th century Marquette Building 140 S. Dearborn in downtown Chicago. They looked gorgeous so I'd planned to go downtown and check them out. As it turned out this past weekend this National landmark and another 100+ architecturally significant sites were part of an open house so here was my chance.
They were magnificent and I took videos of each panel and am uploading them here. They are the work of Louis Comfort Tiffany and J.A.Holzer... Holzer was chief designer for the Tiffany glass Company. These mosaics are composed solely of mother of pearl and Favrile glass. They depict moments in the life and death of Father Jacques Marquette. Who was the Chicago areas first non native resident when in 1674-75, he wintered in the area.

SUMMARY
=======
Michigan ( (listen)) is a state in the Great Lakes and Midwestern regions of the United States. The state's name, Michigan, originates from the Ojibwe word mishigamaa, meaning large water or large lake. Michigan is the tenth most populous of the 50 United States, with the 11th most extensive total area, and is the largest state by total area east of the Mississippi River. Michigan has a population of about 10 million. Its capital is Lansing and its largest city is Detroit. Metro Detroit is among the nation's most populous and largest metropolitan economies.
Michigan is the only state to consist of two peninsulas. The Lower Peninsula, to which the name Michigan was originally applied, is often noted as shaped like a mitten. The Upper Peninsula (often called the U.P.) is separated from the Lower Peninsula by the Straits of Mackinac, a five-mile (8 km) channel that joins Lake Huron to Lake Michigan. The Mackinac Bridge connects the peninsulas. The state has the longest freshwater coastline of any political subdivision in the world, being bounded by four of the five Great Lakes, plus Lake Saint Clair. As a result, it is one of the leading U.S. states for recreational boating. Michigan also has 64,980 inland lakes and ponds. A person in the state is never more than six miles (9.7 km) from a natural water source or more than 85 miles (137 km) from a Great Lakes shoreline.The area was first settled by Native American tribes, whose successive cultures occupied the territory for thousands of years. Colonized by French explorers in the 17th century, it was claimed as part of New France. After France's defeat in the French and Indian War in 1762, the region came under British rule. Britain ceded this territory to the newly independent United States after Britain's defeat in the American Revolutionary War. The area was part of the larger Northwest Territory until 1800, when western Michigan became part of the Indiana Territory. Michigan Territory was formed in 1805, but some of the northern border with Canada was not agreed upon until after the War of 1812. Michigan was admitted into the Union in 1837 as the 26th state, a free one. It soon became an important center of industry and trade in the Great Lakes region and a popular immigrant destination in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Although Michigan developed a diverse economy, it is widely known as the center of the U.S. automotive industry, which developed as a major economic force in the early 20th century. It is home to the country's three major automobile companies (whose headquarters are all within the Detroit metropolitan area). While sparsely populated, the Upper Peninsula is important for tourism thanks to its abundance of natural resources, while the Lower Peninsula is a center of manufacturing, forestry, agriculture, services, and high-tech indu ...

Mackinaw City & Mackinac Island, Michigan / Odkryj Amerykę - Michigan
Mackinac Island is located in Lake Huron, at the eastern end of the Straits of Mackinac, between the state's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. The island was home to an Odawa settlement before European exploration began in the 17th century. This led to the establishment of Fort Mackinac on the island by the British during the American Revolutionary War. It was the site of two battles during the War of 1812.
In the late 19th century, Mackinac Island became a popular tourist attraction and summer colony. Much of the island has undergone extensive historical preservation and restoration; as a result, the entire island is listed as a National Historic Landmark.
It is well known for its numerous cultural events and its wide variety of architectural styles.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wyspa Mackinac znajduje się w Lake Huron, na wschodnim krańcu Cieśniny Mackinac, pomiędzy górnym i dolnym półwyspem stanu Michigan. Wyspa była siedzibą osadnictwa w Odawie, zanim europejskie poszukiwania, które rozpoczęły się w XVII wieku. Doprowadziło to do powstania Fortu Mackinac na wyspie przez Brytyjczyków podczas wojny o niepodległość Stanów Zjednoczonych. Miały tu miejsce dwie bitwy podczas wojny 1812 roku.
Pod koniec XIX wieku wyspa Mackinac stała się popularną atrakcją turystyczną i letnią kolonią. Znaczna część wyspy przeszła długą historyczną konserwację i renowację i w rezultacie stała się Narodowo- Historycznym Zabytkiem. Jest dobrze znana z licznych wydarzeń kulturalnych i różnorodnych stylów architektonicznych.
