Kinross Heritage Park
Near one of the Upper Peninsula's main farming areas, the volunteer museum of the Kinross Heritage Society commemorates pioneer farming and the logging that preceded it. Displays include a blacksmith shop, shoe repair shop, and barber shop. An 1882 log cabin and a 1902 one-room schoolhouse are outside. There's a nature trail through 20 acres of mature pines, maples, and oaks. Much of the fun of visiting the U.P. is meeting old-timers at museums like this. Here people can tell you about the impact of the now-closed Kincheloe Air Force Base across the way, and the prison that followed it.
On M-80. about a mile east of I-75, across from the Chippewa County Fairground. (906) 478-3761 Open Mem. to Labor Day, Thurs-Sun 1-5:30 and by appointment. Donations welcome. Wheelchair- accessible: main building, walk around cabin.
