Haven't been that far yet. I was really excited about Fort St. Joseph. I was thinking like Mackinaw. What a let down. There isn't a building standing or reconstructed. Of course, it is our fault, we burned it down in the was of 1812 after the sly Brits took Mackinaw. But our revenge was sweet. We destroyed St. Joe where they came from, then after they moved to Drummond, they tricked the survey group into placing that into US hands, so the Brits out again with nowhere to go.
If you check property values on Manitoulin you'll be surprised, but getting there is a long ride. Little Current is where the bridge is and from the Soo is it is a 90 mile drive to the south of the island to turn and drive back north perhaps 50 miles of 2 lane back.
Port Huron is nice though. Lots of Artman's there compliments of my uncle and his 9 children. My grandfather worked for Detroit Edison at the Marysville plant until retirement. He sailed on the lakes when young.
