Meet Moira
Mackinac is a real community, not just a beautiful showplace, and Moira has been a part of it all, understanding the personalities and events that have made it so special.

Moira grew up spending all summer on Mackinac Island in a West Bluff cottage because her family had done so since the 1880s. Her great grandfather, Delos Blodgett, a lumberman from Grand Rapids, was one of the first summer cottagers and her relatives have owned five different cottages. Moira grew up driving carriages, riding horseback, making trails through the woods, swimming in the Lake, and exploring every inch of Mackinac.
She worked in tourism businesses for 10 summers, before receiving her master’s degree from the University of Michigan School of Natural Resources and beginning a career in that field. She directed state water quality and soil conservation programs, responsible for implementing complex initiatives and managing over eighty staff persons.

Every summer she visited Mackinac and after 30 years retired to the Island. Then, to address a void, Moira launched Mackinac Revealed LLC to provide Island visitors information and services from a genuine local expert. She is the only licensed tour professional authorized to do so without a script - - because the Mackinac Island State Historic Parks recognized that her knowledge and background ensured the necessary skill and accuracy.

Author of Timeless, a time capsule into Mackinac Island's historic homes and traditions
Combining her lifetime of knowledge and conversations with multi-generational islanders, Moira recently authored Timeless, the definitive book about Island summer cottages and lifestyles. The book reveals photographs from inside over thirty of Mackinac's historic Victorian homes, making these grand structures feel a bit more like home for everyone who picks up the book.
