Log cabins built at the Victoria Mine in 1899 served as homes to waves of copper miners and their families. Today visitors to Old Victoria can explore four historically furnished homes and hear stories about the men, women and children who once lived there.
Follow the North Country National Scenic Trail from Old Victoria to the site of the Victoria Mine. Gaze across 13 miles of Ontonagon County from the rock pile, where you can see to Lake Superior. Another mile and a half brings you to Lookout Mountain - or you can continue your journey west to the Norwich Mine, Trap Hills, Porcupine Mountains and eventually North Dakota.
The Keweenaw Heritage Sites are official partners of Keweenaw National Historical Park, but are privately owned. Each site interprets and preserves an important aspect of the area's copper mining history and provides a unique visitor experience. Please contact individual sites for more information.
