Father Marquette National Memorial in located near the straits of Mackinac and the Mackinac Bridge connecting Michigan's Upper and Lower Peninsulas. This memorial commemorates Marquette & Joilet's 17th century exploration on the Great Lakes area. Marquette is also responsible for establishing the nearby town of St. Ignace, as well as the town of Sault St. Marie, where the Soo Locks are now located. This is technically not a National Park, but it is an affiliated area.See more pictures here- http://www.eriksmith.com/UP02/fathermarquetteNM.htm
