Maps are a valuable tool for seeing history at work. Maps have been used as an aid to all types of transportation from steamboat routes to today’s single track bike trails. They are also used as a marketing tool, for reference, and entertainment. View maps of the Great Lakes and Marquette County. See how mapmakers have sometimes misled their viewers and how our landscape and surroundings have changed. For more information on our special exhibit, visit marquettehistory.org or call 906.226.3571.

Wolf's Head Film Festival exists at the edge of seasons, when imagination fills the dark. Over two nights in Michigan's Keweenaw Peninsula, the festival brings together indie shorts, sought-after documentaries, and cult classics that blur the line between the real and the uncanny.

$35 Weekender Badge | $20 Single Night Ticket (Fri or Sat) | $90 VIP Badge | $10 Friday Music Only Ticket

Feature Screenings:
Stolen Kingdom (2025) - MICHIGAN PREMIERE. Follow the history of misdeeds and debauchery at Walt Disney World Resort over 30 years, which leads to the theft of almost half a million dollars worth of stolen props.

The Blair Witch Project (1999) - Three film students vanish after traveling into a Maryland forest to film a documentary on the local Blair Witch legend, leaving only their footage behind.

Highlights also include indie shorts, filmmaker Q&As, a historic Copper Country tour at the Quincy Mine for filmmakers and VIP badge holders, live music and after-hours parties, and the Wolf's Head Awards decided by both audience and jury.

Set against the haunting beauty of the Keweenaw - its mining ruins, deep forests, and Lake Superior shores - Wolf's Head is more than a festival. It's a gathering place to watch, wonder, and be haunted together.

This inaugural event is sponsored by Visit Keweenaw and 2nd Sandbar Productions.
