Wow. My father was from Minnesota, and I’ve been there many times, but not within the last 30 years or so. We’ve been up to thunder bay, up around Ontario, but I’ve never been to Michigan or northern Wisconsin, I’d love to see the Upper Peninsula. We’ve been all around the northeast, some beautiful sights there, and a lot of history also, but want to see different places.
BTW. Another heads up. On US 41 at Michigamme the Mount Shasta restaurant. Right alongside the highway.
Its a log building. A restaurant now.
If youve ever seen the movie Anatomy of a Murder..Jimmy Stewart, et al, a scene or two was filmed there.
I dunno if the memorabilia is still up on the walls there or not but...its on the way. Ask them and they’ll clue you in.
I dunno if youve ever watched that movie or not but it got several academy awards. I never like the musical score though but its one good movie.
FYI.
Oh, lol, another one. Right alongside the highway. Alberta Mi. You go down the hill past the highway 28 41 intersection, stay on 41 north, you come to Alberta. Town built by Henry Ford back in the early 1900s for logging. Its a museum of sorts now. Used to be a guy there that took folks on tours of the mill and stuff. Dunno if thats the case yet or not.
Quincy mine museum at Hancock.
Right along the highway.
BTW, at Mackinaw City, the British Fort is a historical site. On the Island, the whole island is a historical site from the 17th 18th and 19th centuries. No motorized vehicles on that island. Horse drawn carriages. The hotel is where a few movies were filmed.
All these have web sites.
I’ll quit now.
BTW, since your pop is from MN i doubt your Italian. But if you are, and can speak some, you will like Iron Mountain.
I dont know if there’s still people up there that still speak it or not but there used to be.
