Heading to the grocery store might sound like a mundane activity, but that all changes when an element of history is thrown into the mix. While most of us grab our groceries at Meijer or Kroger without a second thought, there’s one unique store here in the Great Lakes State that offers Michiganders a virtual journey back in time. You’ll surely want to visit for yourself.

Doud’s Market is located at 7200 Main St on beautiful Mackinac Island.
