Every time I go, I learn something new. Always such a great experience!
A gem of a museum for Copper Country history. Friendly and professional staff. Well worth the visit for visitors and local residents.
At the heart of this national historic district is the old mining town of Calumet. Not quite a ghost town but every bit as colorful as any boomtown in the west. Copper was king here. Of note: St Annes, the old firehouse and theatre directly across the street. Some mines in area still offer tours as well.
It's a nice area. I wish I would have spent a couple of days to enjoy it more.
I could spend an entire month exploring this peninsula. Excellent job on the restoration process. History comes alive here. Remote. Peaceful. Surprises around every corner.
A top-notch national historical park. If you are interested in the Keweenaw and copper mining history, this is a "must do."
Loads of history about the Copper Country! It's very cool to have a national park site right in our backyard, and they've done a great job of preserving historical sites and the story of our area. While the park doesn't own a lot itself, it does partner with other organizations and private individuals to do what they can to keep history alive for future generations to discover.
So much to see and do in the Keweenaw! Relaxing at it's finest. Beautiful sights around every corner. Places may be few and far between but worth the drive. Our favorite area is the reconstructed houses at Central Mine.
Great history about mining in the "Copper Country."
A very interesting and unique National Park that keeps improving with time
Great park. take the time, and go for it. Get a tour, very informational.
The main headquarters located in Calumet is not much to see but the museum in the Union building will take 2-3 hours to browse through. Just one stop on over 20 you can make as you visit the sites across the Keweenaw. The park stretches for over 100 miles from the Porcupine Mts to Fort Wilkins, and will take several days to visit all of the sites.
If you are interested in the areas history. You must check this place out. Do your research before you come here to get a pleasant experience.
