CWT520🎙️: Mackinac Island and the Forgotten War

Mackinac Island. A jewel in the straits between Michigan’s Upper and Lower Peninsulas. Today, it’s known for horse-drawn carriages, Victorian charm, and fudge shops that sweeten every corner of its approximately 4.35 square miles. But behind the postcards and the nostalgia lies a chapter of history most visitors never hear about—the island’s pivotal role in the War of 1812.
