"Lumbering plays a role as vital in Luce County's economy today as it did when the county seat, Newberry, was founded in 1882." Our Museum invites you to explore the original buildings and memorabilia from the lumberjack days of the past. Come and see the original C.C.C buildings full of historic photos, models, and original logging equipment. Guests will love the Pratt One Room Schoolhouse. Come and eat a real old-fashioned "Lumberjack Breakfast" in the authentic cook shack made over a wood stove with home-made care and goodness. Veterans receive a discount on admission. Situated on 29 pristine acres, our Upper Peninsula Museum offers a beautiful stroll along the boardwalk, nature trail and viewing Tahquamenon River & Forest. This legendary river is nestled along our unique trail where you can view blue herons, ducks, birds, beaver, and other incredible wildlife. The C.C.C. Statue - Chapter #161 (shown in photo) commemorates the dedication and spirit of the young men who served in the Civilian Conservation Corps from April 1933 to July 1942. This statue helps in preserving the legacy of the corps for the betterment of generations to come. — Dedicated Jun 2002
