Tucked within Michigan’s Copper Country, Laurium Michigan is a village of quiet charm and rich history. Once the upscale retreat of mine captains and industry moguls, its streets still whisper stories of a time when copper shaped fortunes and grand homes rose to meet the ambitions of an era.
Stroll along Laurium’s historic district, and you'll find ornate Victorian mansions, remnants of a golden age when the town thrived alongside the booming mines. Many of these homes now serve as bed and breakfasts, offering visitors a chance to step into history while enjoying the warmth of small-town hospitality.
Laurium isn’t just about the past, though—it’s a gateway to adventure, sitting just minutes from the Keweenaw Peninsula’s wild beauty. Whether you're chasing waterfalls, exploring Lake Superior’s rocky shores, or skiing the deep powder that blankets the region in winter, this little village is the perfect place to start.
Here, the legacy of the Copper Country is alive—not in the towering smokestacks of industry, but in the resilience of a community that embraces its history while looking forward to the next chapter.
