Descriptions

75-ACRE MICHIGAN WOODED RECREATIONAL PARCEL FOR SALE! This property is located in Elm River Township, in central Houghton County, in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. This is an historic copper mining area, that developed after the construction of the Copper Range railroad. The 75-Acre property is located just north of the unincorporated community of Winona. Winona (which means "firstborn daughter" in the Dakota language) had its roots in the prehistoric copper mining of the local native peoples. Evidence of their pit workings attracted the attention of prospectors and investors as the area began to industrialize. The Winona Mining Company organized in 1864. It reorganized as the Winona Copper Company in 1898, and built a mine that consisted of four shafts. It was adjacent to the King Philip Mine, which they absorbed - The two mines produced approximately 17.6 million pounds of refined copper by the time the mines closed in the early 1920s. The town that sprung up around these mines grew to over 1,000 people by 1920, who enjoyed restaurants, a saloon, a dance hall, a brewery, churches, a barber shop, boarding houses, a school, a post office, and Duplex dwellings built in five neighborhoods. Now only a school, church, and a few homes remain, but Copper, silver, and datolite can be still found in the mine piles. You drive to this community, and take woods trails northwards to the property offered for sale.
