We are still at Camp MCD waiting for our new shades and valences. It has been cold and rainy so we have not done much sightseeing so we decided to catch up on some blogging. After our story on the Mosquito Inn we realized we still had a lot to document from our stay on the Upper Peninsula this past summer. Today we cover the Coppertown Mining Museum in Calumet, a Keweenaw Heritage Site. We toured the museum with our friends Bob and Wilma and Jim and Sharon.
The museum covered all things copper mining from the offices in the mining companies
to the medical facilities that the mining companies had
to the one room school rooms that the mining companies provided
to the equipment used in the mine or to repair the mine equipment
We found a couple of things to be unique. Here is a steam powered laundry
along with the Miss Coppertown beauty contest crown
and a oak stove
It was another great place to tour in the Upper Peninsula.
Till next time,
Bob and Jo
You just keep giving us more reasons to return to the UP. Thanks
