This episode we head back to our beloved Mackinac State Historic Parks to learn what's new, and what's old, and how they plan to celebrate a pretty big birthday this season.

We kick off the show with our great friend, and the director of MSHP's, Steve Brisson. With seven different locations scattered throughout the Straights area, on both Mackinac Island and the mainland, the Parks are a very busy place during the summer season. In 2025, Mackinac State Historic Parks will be 150 years young. President Ulysses Grant named Mackinac Island as the second National Park in the country after Yellowstone in 1875. The act set the stage for the Island that we love today. Steven takes us through this fascinating history, which was all new to us.

Craig Wilson, the chief curator at Mackinac State Historic Parks, joins us and gives us a sneak peek on how the parks are going to celebrate the United States Semiquincentennial (which according to Wiki could also be called the Bisesquicentennial, the Sestercentennial, America250 or the Quarter Millennium). In other wordsw, it's the 250th anniversary of the United States Declaration of Independence, and there will be awesome events throughout the year to honor this anniversary.

Madi Hansen, Marketing and Group Travel Coordinator, stops by to share how anyone can host an event at the Parks. With so many different locations, and different options within each location, the Parks are perfect for everything for an incredible wedding ceremony to uniquely historical venues for meetings and more. Madi walks us through all the choices, and we are pretty sure that getting married on the island is a great idea.

And last, but never least, our buddy and regular BTM guest, Chief of Marketing Dominck Miller joins us. We'll be honest, we spend a little bit of time reminiscing about the last ten years of sharing the airwaves with him on Behind the Mitten, and we are beyond grateful for the support we've gotten, and our friendship. Anytime at Mackinac State Historic Parks is a gift in our books, and we are so happy to have had an insider's seat over the last few years with everyone here.....and to be able to share these stories with you.
