Summary

This episode explores the rich history and quiet charm of Bois Blanc Island, a hidden gem tucked into the Straits of Mackinac. Once home to Indigenous fishing camps and later valued for its timber, farming, and distinctive basswood trees, the island has played many important roles over the centuries. Today, Bois Blanc remains a peaceful ferry-accessible getaway where visitors can experience both natural beauty and a deep connection to Michigan’s past. ___________________________ Produced by Michigan History Magazine
