In the late 1800s, an epic copper rush brought hundreds of thousands of immigrants from around the world to Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula. Today, their stories still capture the imagination of visitors thanks to the incredible experiences preserved by the Keweenaw National Historic Park and the men and women of the Copper Country. Explore the depths of underground copper mines or ascend to the tops of lighthouses that guided ships across the turbulent waters of Lake Superior! Or adventure through the region's ghost town ruins scattered throughout the region!
