[History Hounds] Mackinac’s Island House Hotel: A Family Legacy with Todd Callewaert, Island House Hotel

The Victorian structure was rescued from pending demolition in 1969, and has operated as a family business ever since. Join the presenter to learn the history of this striking Michigan Historic Landmark and the family that saved it.
