John Johnston Home
 |  Musicians Dave Stanaway and Susan Askwith perform original music celebrating life in this area’s fur trade era and the Johnston family’s role in the meeting and blending of the Native and European cultures. Dave and Sue delight audiences with an hour of song and story in the home each Tuesday and Thursday from 1 - 2 p.m. |
| Craft demonstrations take place Saturdays from 1-2 p.m. All workers at the Johnston Home are dressed in representational garments, and are happy to engage with visitors about this vigorous and pivotal time in Great Lakes history. In addition to the interesting exhibits and demonstrations in the Johnston Home, the gardens outside are planted with species prevalent and familiar during the Johnston era. The plants are labeled, and a beautiful commissioned statue of Niingay (as Susan Johnston was called by her many children), graces the garden. The grounds are maintained by the Sault Area Garden Club. |  |
 | The John Johnston home belonged to John Johnston, a fur trader and liaison to the Indians. He married a local Indian princess and for may years was the dominant force both politically and socially in the area. It is the second oldest house in Michigan, constructed in 1796. Located at 415 Water Street, Sault Ste. Marie, MI 49783. |
