Construction Update (Posted 3/20/2026)

It’s been a busy winter here at the museum! Our General Store and First Families room have received all-new drywall. Construction has moved to all rooms on the north side of the building, which will be receiving the same wall update treatment. We will continue to remain closed at this time due to the mess and safety concerns to our visitors and volunteers. Private tours may be requested by calling Donna at (906) 224-0075, but all tours are subject to approval. Our closure is expected to last through the spring months of 2026. Please be sure to check out our Facebook page for the most recent updates. See you again this summer!
