Biddle House, Historic fur trade building on Market Street, Mackinac Island, United States.

The Biddle House features a reconstructed kitchen and trade shop displaying artifacts from Michigan's early settlement period in the 1780s.

Edward Biddle, from the Philadelphia merchant family, purchased this property in 1822 for $100 and established it as both a residence and fur trading post.

The marriage between Edward Biddle and Agatha Biddle, an Odawa nation member, created connections that strengthened the fur trade business on Mackinac Island.

Entry to the Biddle House comes with a Fort Mackinac ticket, allowing visitors to explore exhibits about Native American heritage and early 19th-century living.

The building's architecture incorporates Quebec rural design elements, making it one of the oldest structures on Mackinac Island from the New France period.
