caption_attribution_description: English: This jetty is the western boundary of Mission Point. It has demarcated the Point for over a century. Looking eastward at sunrise, this 1969 view sees across the Mackinac College campus, sunlight shining by the Peter Howard Memorial Library, and glinting off windows of the Clark Center. Robinson’s Folly, which is the eastern boundary of Mission Point, is in the background.
context_page_description: Mission Point is located on the southeast side of Mackinac Island, Michigan. It is approximately 21 acres in size between Robinson's Folly and the jetty terminating near Franks Street. The Island has a history of documented European development beginning with French Jesuit missionaries landing at the point in 1634, less than two decades after the Pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock on the East Coast of North America.
  Since that time, development at Mission Point has included a Mission House, summer house, several summer Victorian cottages, conference center for an international group, theater, film studio, college campus, and vacation resort. Mission Point looks out toward Round Island over the Straits of Mackinac, the principal waterway between Lake Michigan and Lake Huron. In the early 21st century, Mission Point has been developed as Mission Point Resort, a full-service facility including guest lodging, three restaurants, putting greens, a museum, and a theater.
