Keweenaw National Historical Park
From 7,000 years ago to the 1900s people mined Keweenaw copper. Native peoples made copper into tools and trade items.
Investors and immigrants arrived in the 1800s in a great mineral rush, developing thriving industries and cosmopolitan
communities. Though the mines have since closed, their mark is still visible on the land and people. Keweenaw National
Historical Park works with a variety of public and private agencies and organizations to preserve and interpret the
region's copper mining history. Many of these sites provide tours of exhibits to help you learn more about our heritage.

Henry Ford Museum
The Henry Ford Museum began as one man's vision to document the genius of ordinary people by preserving the objects they
used in the course of their everyday lives. It grew to become one of the largest collections of its kind ever assembled -
a remarkable destination that brings American ideas and innovations to life. The Henry Ford Museum is the nation's largest
indoor-outdoor history museum complex. It's much more than a museum, it is a museum-entertainment complex where visitors
can take a ride in a Model T, ride a train, visit an IMAX Theater, or see a live show. Named for its founder, the noted
automobile industrialist Henry Ford and based on his desire to preserve items of historical significance and portray the
Industrial Revolution, the property houses a vast array of famous homes, machinery, exhibits, and Americana. The
collection contains many rare exhibits including John F. Kennedy's limosine, Abraham Lincoln's chair from Ford's Theater,
Thomas Edison's laboratory, and the Wright Brothers' bicycle shop.
