About the Keweenaw National Historical Park
Keweenaw National Historical Park, located at 25970 Red Jacket Road in Calumet Township, Michigan, is a popular tourist attraction that offers a fascinating look into the region's rich copper mining history. From 7,000 years ago to the 1900s, people mined copper in the Keweenaw area, with Native peoples using the copper to create tools and trade items. In the 1800s, a mineral rush brought investors and immigrants to the area, leading to the development of thriving industries and diverse communities.
Visitors to the park can explore three floors of interactive exhibits that showcase what life was like for people in this mining community. The park also offers opportunities to learn about the Keweenaw's cultural heritage through its Heritage Sites. Although the mines have since closed, the impact of the mining industry is still visible on the land and its people.
Whether you're interested in history, culture, or simply looking to get involved with the park and its heritage sites, Keweenaw National Historical Park offers a unique and educational experience for visitors of all ages.

Reviews of Keweenaw National Historical Park
"Come take a look at Pot hole ridden streets, dilapidated buildings, & rock piles. Locals call it " Little Flint" Talk about fantastic. Truly breathtaking. Get 8 bulldozers abreast of each other, Go down 4th street, Then, 5th & the same for 6th. Its called Urban Renewal. Your plan ain't working folks. There are 5 bright spots. Jims Pizza, Frozen Farms, Ace Hardware, Cafe Rosetta Building, Keweenaw Coffee."
"grand old buildings done in an imposing style of beautiful design mixed together with lots of great present day businesses... always a nice place to visit"
"We took the quincy mine tour and it was fabulous! Interesting, historical, and you go in to the actual mine. You enter a large tunnel so not claustrophobic at all."
"This is a great place to learn about Michigan copper mining history. The buildings are interesting, docents very knowledgeable, and taking a ride into one of the mine shafts can be educational and somewhat frightening if you don’t like closed spaces. I spent time after the guided tour walking the grounds and seeing more of the old equipment and buildings on my own. This tour really makes you appreciate the hardships the miners go through even today!"
"Great hearing park that rarely gets visited. I really enjoy spending time in the upper peninsula of Michigan and this as far north as you can get. I like how it's a mixture of places ran by the National Park Service, state and local historical societies, and private citizens. I only spent a few days here but wish I had more time, I'll definitely be back."
