I've visited Seaman Mineral Museum several times, and every time I see new things and new displays; really amazing things, especially the Copper Country rocks and minerals. The Fluorescent mineral display is world class. Don't miss this Museum.

I recently visited this museum while on bicycle tour. Loved it so much I returned for a second look. Extremely well designed with a perfect balance between the local human culture/community and the technological aspects of the discovery and iron mining industry years. This is a real gem and I highly recommend.

The Iron County Historical and Museum Society was founded in October 1962. In 1963, the Pickands-Mather Co. deeded 5.5 acres, including the headframe and engine house of the Caspian Mine, to the County of Iron to create a museum. In 1968, the Museum opened in time for the Caspian and Mineral Hills Jubilees. The grounds were planned with outdoor complex-es following the European pattern of development.

This is a fantastic museum even though it is hidden away. It is in the small adjacent community of Caspian. It features fantastic art galleries with the headliner being originals by Lee LeBlanc (winner of the 1973 Federal Duck Stamp competition). The historical collection is first rate. This is worth going out of your way for.

Pleasantly surprised by this small but rich museum which tells the interesting story of the Ojibwa people who live in Michigan. Very good introductory video and several interesting displays and artifacts. Don't miss the outdoor displays, which include a traditional long house. Well worth stopping for. Easy parking around the museum.

This is a must see if visiting Marquette, MI. Spend the extra money and go out to the lighthouse. Our tour guide was a retired nurse doing this on her weekends! You could tell she loved her job!!
