Nubbins II | St. Ann’s Cemetery on Mackinac Island On my first trip to the island when I was a young boy, we took a ride in a surrey with fringe on top. As we came past this cemetery, the driver said: “people are just dying to get in there.” I thought it was funny at the time. Note: I post an image everyday at hankconrad.com.

Somewhere in Time Mackinac Island | Grand Hotel by Ship After boarding the boat back to reality, we catch a last glimpse of the Grand Hotel in late afternoon sun; much as it looked back in 1912 to Elise and in 1980 to Richard. It remains; somewhere in time. To read the whole story with all images, see Somewhere in Time Mackinac Island | a 7 Image Story.

Somewhere in Time Mackinac Island | Back Country Riding through the back country, it looks much the same as it did over a hundred years ago.

Somewhere in Time Mackinac Island | Little Stone Church Close your eyes and you can almost imagine Richard Collier and Elise McKenna taking a stroll or riding in a surrey and passing by this old church.

Somewhere in Time Mackinac Island | Lighthouse The Round Island Light, also known as the “Old Round Island Point Lighthouse” and sometimes referred to as the Mackinac Island Lighthouse, is almost as famous as Mackinac Island itself. It was constructed in 1895 and located on the western shore of Round Island. Located on the Straits of Mackinac just across the shipping lane from Mackinac Island, it is one of the most photographed lighthouses in the world. Thousands of tourists pass within a half mile of the 123 year old lighthouse on ferries each day during the summer season. The lighthouse is one of the first things and one of the last things people see when visiting Mackinac Island by boat. Certainly in 1980, Richard Collier (Christopher Reeve) saw the old lighthouse and in 1912, Elise McKenna (Jane Seymour) saw the new lighthouse on their journeys to the island’s Grand Hotel.
