You asked, we listened! This summer, from July 3rd to August 30th, we are bringing back your favorite exhibits: Remnants: Ghost Towns of the Upper Peninsula and Polar Bears: U.P. Soldiers in the Northern Russian Expeditionary Force 1918-1919.

The UP is known for its mining, creating a prosperous and booming population in its early days. But as this excitement settled, the once flourishing towns became abandoned. Now, they are forgotten, reclaimed by nature, or even demolished. Our Remnants exhibit explores 15 ghost towns, one from each county across the UP, through historic photos, contemporary photos, and drone footage.

Despite the infamy of World War 1, many don't know the history of the “Polar Bears”, a group of British, French, Canadian and U.S. troops who were sent to Northern Russia and Siberia. These units included nearly 100 UP residents who fought bravely and some even sacrificing their lives. Their stories cover the historical, social, and ethnic identities of these men through maps, artifacts, and photographs.

We are open *Monday through Saturday* 12pm to 4pm
