Calumet, Historic mining village in Houghton County, Michigan, USA
Located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula at 370 meters elevation, Calumet features preserved 19th-century architecture and former copper mining infrastructure throughout its streets.
The settlement, established in 1864 as Red Jacket, generated over half of the United States copper production between 1871 and 1880 through Calumet and Hecla Mining Company.
The Calumet Theatre, opened in 1900, represents the copper mining wealth of the region through its Victorian-era design and continues operating as a performing arts venue.
The village contains a section of the Keweenaw National Historical Park, offering guided tours of mining sites and industrial buildings from May through October.
The Italian Hall Memorial stands as a reminder of the 1913 tragedy where 73 people lost their lives during a Christmas Eve celebration amid a mining strike.
