History
The earliest buildings of Mission Point Resort originated from Moral Re-Armament concepts between Michigan governor G. Mennen Williams and Dr Frank Buchman in the 1950s. Since then, the resort buildings had transformed to Mackinac College in 1966, and then became a religious retreat and educational institution in 1970. In 1972 the buildings had transitioned into a vacation resort property and were eventually renamed Mission Point Resort in 1987.
