About Michigamme Historical Museum

The museum presents the history of Michigamme Township and the wider Upper Peninsula. Its displays cover the logging and mining industries, the well-known Anatomy of a Murder case, the township's Moose Lift tradition, and a restored 1900 steam fire engine. Its collection of artifacts, antiques, and memorabilia spans more than 125 years of local life. Guided tours and special showings can be arranged by appointment. Visitors who want to support the museum can give donations, which go to a newly formed nonprofit that also supports the library and parks.
