These are some of the homes in Ripley not far from the old Burt Boiler Shop. The rock piles above the house tops show where prospectors endeavored to locate the Isle Royale veins on the north side of the lake. These diggings are immediately east of the Ripley Falls and are quite shallow. Even an adit was dug. It still exists although greatly filled with debris.

Signs - Eagle Harbor |
Sign and Signboards, Historical markers, Human Settlements, Woody Plants, Trees |
Horace Greeley landed here on June 15th, 1847. He came on the Independence, the first propeller boat on Lake Superior. It has a maximum speed of 5 miles per hour. That night, Greeley reported, the harbor was frozen over for some distance from shore. There was no dock and oxen he had brought from Detroit were thrown over board to swim ashore. Eagle Harbor was first settled by copper propspectors in 1844 and later became headquarters for many of the copper mines located along the range of hills to the south. The Knights of Pythias ritual was written here by Justus H. Rathbone during the winter of 1859-60. The little school house in which he taught is preserved as a shrine by the Knights of Pythias national association. [Photo of the rustic sign telling the story of Eagle Harbor.
