Grand Hotel History Weekend – October 17 – 19, 2025

Grand Hotel History Weekend

You’re invited to journey through time at Grand Hotel’s 16th Annual History Weekend and learn the story behind the hotel’s wooden structure built in 1887. Fall is a great time of year to experience Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel.

Join us as we explore the fascinating history of Grand Hotel – “The Building.” Learn about the hotel’s original design and how it was constructed in 1887. The highlight of the weekend will be a lecture and walking tour led by two of Michigan’s most respected historical architects. For over three decades, Tamara Burns & Gene Hopkins have carefully overseen the hotel’s restoration and expansion. They will explain the relevance of preservation and historic events in the evolution of the hotel. It’s a true survival story of this rare architectural treasure.

We hope to see you for this special event to celebrate the history of Grand Hotel.

Package Includes:

  • Breakfast and dinner daily 
  • All resort amenities  
  • Friday evening Welcome Reception 
  • Saturday morning History Lecture with Resident Historian Bob Tagatz

Crystal Mountain – 18th Annual Peak2Peak Mountain Bike Classic – October 19, 2024

Crystal Mountain - Founders Peak2Peak Mountain Bike Classic

Presented by Stormcloud Brewing Company

The annual Peak2Peak Mountain Bike Classic is held in and around the beautiful, gently rolling terrain surrounding Crystal Mountain. The race starts and finishes near the base of the front-side slopes. Riders journey through hardwood and pine forests along rambling two-tracks and flowing single-track on a course that is fast and challenging, but not so difficult that racers new to the sport won’t have a great time.

Races begin at 9:30am. 

Peak2Peak is made possible by a partnership between Crystal Mountain and Endoman Promotions, LLC. Please use the following links to find Peak2Peak race information on EndomanPromotions.com .

About the Murder Mystery Weekend

This invite comes from somebody with murder on their mind. Your invitation promises plenty of excitement and intrigue. However, beyond the glitz and glamor of this event lies something more sinister.

You and your party play the detective in this interactive game of mystery and murder behind the closed doors of Grand Hotel. Investigate the scene of the crime, interrogate suspects, and solve a murder. This one-of-a-kind event promises to be nothing short of a “Grand” ol’ time.

Upon check-in, receive your first packet of information and clues. Friday is the kick-off performance, which sets the tone of events and when the first murder takes place. On Saturday, there is a brief gathering with the Detective, who explains the hunt for clues. (This also allows you some time on your own to enjoy the beauty of Mackinac Island and Grand Hotel.)

Come back on Saturday afternoon, when Act II is performed and another murder takes place. The evening concludes with three interactive mysteries, where guests in different groups will be rotated into the mystery experiences. Sunday morning the mystery is solved!
