After taking the train ride into the mine a guide will lead you thru the mine. Im 63 and always take first timers to the UP to the Iron Mine. I probably have been through this mine 30plus times. I feel I could be a guide since I can practically recite what they tell you. LOL Don't miss a chance to tour this mine. P.S. A word of caution don't wear new shoes. Weat an old beat up pair.

My preference not for everyone, but I feel like there is so much WWII thrown in our faces everywhere we go and I'm tired of it, there's so much more history that gets forgotten about because of this. Anyways l, highly recommend you check this place out if you enjoy history of mining! Enjoy!

The museum has been here since 1931 and is filled with all kinds of interesting pieces from Washington Island's past. There are antiques, old tools, local artifacts and some outdoor displays, along with several small wooden buildings you can peek inside. My favorite part was seeing Jens Jacobsen's tiny summer cabin and some of the things he actually made himself. We also chatted with one of the volunteers, who explained some of what we were looking at and shared a little more of the history. I always enjoy places like this so much more when there's someone there who can tell you the stories behind everything. There's no charge to visit, and you don't need a ton of time. It's simply a cute, interesting little stop while you're driving around Washington Island -- and we're glad we found it!

The highlight of our visit was the docent. As we were the only customers there, she spent a good bit of time with us. I look forward to our next trip to the island, I'd like to talk to her again. She was a sweet person with the knowledge of an encyclopedia. Washington Island is a national treasure. This museum will help you understand why this is so. Cannot wait for our yearly trip (car and ferry or our own boat), as this island is like a cool foreign country. The museum is free; but we always donate a couple of bucks. You should, too.

There was only one other car when we arrived, so we basically had the whole place to ourselves. That was great for our dog, but even if it were busy, the area is wide open with lots of space to roam around. The loop we walked was for both walking and driving, but luckily there were no cars on it while we were there, so it was really nice to have that space just to walk. There are multiple other areas to check out. You can stop by to have lunch and stretch your legs. It really is a must stop! There are a few porta-potties on site, a decent-sized parking lot, and a small gift shop too.

It's like walking into the office back in 1900. The entire building is as it was back when the company was in full business. It's as if the workers left for lunch and never came back. It's very spooky in the sense that time has stood still for over 100 years. It's well worth the stop.
