Exhibits at the Coppertown Mining Museum help visitors experience the many aspects of Calumet & Hecla's mining operations.
 

Calumet & Hecla's distance from manufacturing centers required the company to be self-reliant. In the pattern shop, skilled workers crafted wooden patterns that were used in the foundry that once stood next door to cast parts and tools need for mine operations.

Today, the Coppertown Mining Museum, a Keweenaw Heritage Site, is located in the former C&H Pattern Shop building. The museum features exhibits both on mining operations and life in a mining town.
Located at 101 Red Jacket Road, Calumet, MI.

Did You Know?
Despite ups and downs in copper production and prices, the Quincy Mining Company on Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula was able to pay its investors dividends nearly every year from 1862 to 1920, earning it the nickname "Old Reliable." The company closed in 1945 after nearly 100 years of operation.
