| HISTORY | The year was 1908 and all over the Keweenaw Peninsula mansions were being built by the wealthy copper mine owners. But here in Laurium the largest and most opulent of them all was just being completed. Built for Thomas H. & Cornelia Hoatson, owner of Calumet & Arizona Mining Co., no expense was spared building this 45 room mansion. At a time when miners were making 25 cents per hour, this house was built at a cost of $50,000 and $35,000 of furnishings were added.
Some of the unique features of the Laurium Manor Inn include:
* It is IMMENSE -13,000 sq.ft. on four floors
* Each of the 4 floors is larger than most B&B's entire building
* Silver leaf covered domed ceiling in the music parlor
* Gilded and embossed elephant leather wall coverings and stained glass in the dining room
* Grand triple stair case of hand carved oak
* 9x14 foot stained glass window on stairway landing

The Park was established in 1992 to commemorate the rich history of copper mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan - the only place in the world where commercially abundant quantities of elemental copper occurred. It has the oldest metal mining heritage in the western hemisphere -- one which dates back 7,000 years.

| | Garage turntable being repaired by MTU students | 12-20-2007
Students from MTU's Mechanical Design & Engineering Technology program have taken on the project of repairing the turntable in LMI's Carriage House. This original Canton Automobile Turntable installed around 1915 has not turned since the 1970's. The students have researched the patent numbers molded on the cover and the materials it was made from and are disassembling the parts. They will be producing replacements for the severely corroded components and reassembling it with the goal of making the turntable rotate freely like it did when installed.
