Stop by for some punch and sweets and see the new collection of exhibits, "Gone But Not Forgotten: Preserving Memories of the Copper Country." These exhibits are included:
Rural Reflections: Finnish American Buildings and Landscapes in Michigan's Copper Country. Photographs by Ryan Holt with Historical Narrative by Arnold Alanen.
"This [exhibit] documents the built environment that Finnish immigrants and their descendants created in Michigan's Copper Country from the 1880s through the 1930s. Although much of this heritage has been lost with the passage of time, the district yet holds one of the largest concentrations of rural Finnish buildings and cultural landscapes in North America." -- from historical narrative written by Arnold Alanen for the exhibit Rural Reflections.
