The Kemp Industrial Museum, located on East Water Street in Sault Ste. Marie, Michigan, is a fascinating museum housed in the historic Kemp Coal Dock Office.

In 1960, the property was given to the city and eventually transformed into the Kemp Industrial Museum in 2007. The museum showcases the history of the Sault's major industries, including Union Carbide, Northwestern Leather Company, Soo Woolen Mill, and Cadillac-Soo Lumber Company.
