St. Ignace, Lake Huron


The Fort de Buade Museum in St. Ignace was bequeathed to the city by the family of a man who who had a vast collection of Native American artifacts obtained through garage sales and flea markets!  The fort was named for Louis de Buade, Comte de Frontenac, the governor of New France from 1672 to 1682, and then again from 1689 until his death in 1698.  Fort de Buade was the most important French outpost in northern Michigan west of Montreal.


St. Ignace has a nice boardwalk along the waterfront.
