Copper Country Trail
Hanka Homestead, MI

Many Finnish immigrants worked in the mines until they could afford to buy or homestead a small, self-sufficient farm. The Hanka Homestead is a small, largely unaltered 1920s Finnish farmstead with furniture, dishes, tools, and farm equipment reflective of the period. A log house, barns, sauna, milk house, root cellar, and other outbuildings sit on the 40-acre farmstead and remind visitors of an earlier age when pioneers carved out a living in the midst of the forest.
