The Campbell Site, also known as the Mill Creek Site, is the location of a saw mill and dam constructed in about 1790 to supply lumber to the frontier settlement of Mackinac Island. The site was abandoned in 1839, and is now the location of the Historic Mill Creek State Park.
The Cheboygan Bascule Bridge is a double-leaf bascule bridge built in 1940 to replace an aging swing bridge built in 1877. It was the last bascule bridge constructed in the state of Michigan prior to the end of World War II.
The Old Cheboygan County Courthouse was constructed in 1869 for $3000. The building served as a courthouse until 1899, when the county built a new courthouse. It was adapted for use as offices, and houses a law office.
The Faunce-McMichael Farm was owned by two American pioneering families: Ezra Faunce first homesteaded this property beginning in 1875. In 1895, James McMichael purchased the farm from the Faunce family. The historic farmhouse has been demolished.
Construction on the Fourteen Foot Shoal Light began in 1929, and the light was first lit the next year. The United States Lighthouse Service intended from the time of design that this light would be automated (possibly the first such instance) and operated by radio control from the nearby Poe Reef Light.
The Newton-Allaire House was built in 1871 by village president Archibald Newton as a wedding present for his second wife, Cornelia Allaire. The couple died childless, and passed the house to Cornelia's brother, Joseph Allaire Jr. The house has remained held by the Allaire family.
Four different lightships served at Poe Reef beginning in 1893. Finally, in 1926, the decision was made to construct a permanent light at the location, and in 1928 this lighthouse was constructed. The reef and light are named for lighthouse designer Orlando M. Poe.
The Spectacle Reef Light was the most expensive lighthouse ever built on the Great Lakes. It is said to be the most spectacular engineering achievement in lighthouse construction on Lake Huron. Construction in the 1870s cost $406,000.
Forrest J. Stimpson constructed this house in 1882 at 516 N. Huron Blvd in Mackinaw City; he used it as a marine recording station, recording the passage of vessels through the straits. The house was moved to this new location.
