2025 Keweenaw Heritage Grant awards over $120,000 in historic preservations across The Copper Country

LAKE LINDEN, Mich. (WZMQ) – The Keweenaw Heritage Grant from the Keweenaw National Historical Park Advisory covers various maintenance projects for historic locations, from Copper Harbor to Rockland. The committee has dispersed over two million dollars since 2008.

The grant is committed to the preservation and upkeep of the Copper Country’s many lengths of history. Of this year’s 13 recipients, the Houghton County Historical Museum is using its funds for sealant repairs along the buildings base level, as flooding has been a recent issue.

“We were having very high moisture problems,” said Houghton County Historical Society President, George West. “For a museum, that’s bad.”

The building was constructed in 1918, and originally served as a hub for various medical and working class needs in the surrounding area. Some of the rooms included a dentist office, pharmacy, pay office, telephone operator station, and more.

Today, the building is one of many that stand to represent the historic upbringings of the copper, logging, and mining industries.

“This is not the only building that we have, but this one is dedicated to the people who lived here, the processing of the rock and the copper, and to some extent, the mining.”

West says that with these grants, local history will continue to educate the community.

“I’m constantly learning things,” said West. “There’s always something I didn’t know.”

In total, the 2025 Keweenaw Heritage Grant awarded $124,880 to various historical societies.
