These are Voisin family photographs of the construction of the Mackinac Bridge from the summer of 1956 including a Shepler's Bridge Tour by boat out of Mackinaw City, Michigan, probably in June 1956. The tour participants are unidentified.

Thank you to Mike Voisin for sharing these photos from the estate of Jack Voisin of Mt. Pleasant, Michigan. More photos from 1958 will be shared in the near future.

Construction of the "Mighty Mac" began in May 1954 and it opened on November 1, 1957. The bridge was completed in 1958.
