NEGAUNEE, MI— The Department of Natural Resources held a real estate closing ceremony Thursday at the Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Negaunee.
The event celebrated the DNR’s purchase of 40 acres of land. It will be developed for iron industry historical interpretation, as well as trails and public viewing access to the Carp River Falls.
Several officials were on hand for the event, including Sandra Clark, director of the Michigan History Center, Doug Rich, western Upper Peninsula district supervisor for the DNR’s Parks and Recreation Division, and Carl Lindquist, executive director of the Superior Watershed Partnership and Land Conservancy.
Though the property has been purchased by the DNR for public use, for safety reasons, the area is closed to the public until pathways, overlooks and other features can be planned and developed.
