This area is also widely know as the Copper Country<\/em>, because of the native copper that was found in abundance in this region. The area\u2019s current cities and villages were settled primarily as mining locations and commercial ports that serviced mining activities throughout the late 1800s and most of the twentieth century. Today, the region\u2019s economy is driven by services, forestry, tourism and recreation, and technology. The Keweenaw is known for its cool climate and snowy winters that afford spectacular winter activities and for the Lake Superior’s forests and beaches that beckon the summer vacationer. The ecology is diverse hosting a variety of relatively rare and iconic mammal species including the timberwolf, the moose, the fisher, an abundant black bear population, and the occasional cougar passing through. It also has a rich ethnic heritage which today is represented primarily by the Finnish influence. The Keweenaw National Historical Park, with heritage sites throughout the region, tells the cultural history of the region well. Communities like Calumet, Eagle River, Eagle Harbor, and Copper Harbor offer beautiful beaches, recreational trails, and historic village centers with shops and restaurants to explore.<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row full_width=”stretch_row” parallax=”content-moving” css=”.vc_custom_1513349495536{padding-top: 10px !important;padding-bottom: 125px !important;background-image: url(http:\/\/icad2018.icad.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/MTU_Houghton_LiftBridge.jpg?id=1537) !important;}”][vc_column][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/4″][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner width=”1\/2″]
