The Stuart House City Museum is housed in a historic building that is known for being central to the fur trade in the 1820s. Founded in 1841, the museum is one of several old buildings that have been converted into a city hall, a fire station and a courthouse.

The museum contains old photos of Mackinac Island, information about the island's famous black bear, Cubbie, as well as an overview of the local fur trade. The museum is open during the summer months and admission is paid in the form of a donation.
