The Ontonagon Historical Society was founded by local residents in 1957. The museum features exhibits on area mining, logging, farming, marine, and social memorabilia. Tours of the lighthouse are offered daily during summer months, which is the westernmost of Michigan’s lighthouses.

The Keweenaw Heritage Sites are official partners of Keweenaw National Historical Park, but are privately owned. Each site interprets and preserves an important aspect of the area's copper mining history and provides a unique visitor experience. Please contact individual sites for more information.
