IN PROGRESS

Welcome to Mackinaw’s Bicentennial Celebration!

In 2027, the Village of Mackinaw will proudly celebrate 200 years of history, tradition, and small-town pride. This once-in-a-lifetime milestone is a chance for our community to come together to honor the people, places, and moments that have shaped Mackinaw from its earliest days to the vibrant village we call home today.

From our historic roots and local landmarks to our schools, churches, businesses, and beloved community events, Mackinaw’s story is built on generations of families, neighbors, and friends. Every memory, photograph, and story contributes to the rich tapestry of our village’s history.

As we count down to this exciting celebration, we invite the entire community to take part! This page will feature bicentennial updates, event information, historical highlights, and ways to get involved. We are also calling on residents, past and present, to help us preserve Mackinaw’s history by sharing photographs, documents, memorabilia, and personal stories.
