Because everybody loves to visit a ghost town, especially one as authentic and picturesque as this with its backdrop of whipped cream clouds and quaint streets meandering down to blue Keweenaw Bay, the oldest section of Pequaming village has been left in its picturesque natural state - for the special delight of artists and photographers.

"Central Mine - In 1854 Heavy masses of native copper were discovered in the bottom of an ancient pit dug by prehistoric miners. In November of that year the Central Mining Co. was organized. A rich ore body was soon opened which had produced a total of $9,770,528 by July 1898 when the property was finally abandoned. Until the Kearsarge lode was discovered in the 90's the Central Mine was the biggest and most profitable producer in the Keweenaw district. At one time the population reached a total of approximately 1250 people and reunions of former residents and descendants are held here annually."
