Fall Color at the Indian Dorm
The Federal style "Indian Dormitory", built in 1838, is listed on the National Register of Historic Places.
In the 1836 Treaty of Washington, the Ojibwa and Ottawa tribes ceded most of the northern part of Michigan's Lower Peninsula and part of the Upper Peninsula to the United States, in exchange for yearly annuity payments and training in farming methods. The Indian Dormitory was constructed for Native Americans coming to Mackinac to receive their payments..
Since 2010 the building has housed the Richard and Jane Manoogian Mackinac Art Museum.
