The Cornish Pump is the largest steam-driven pumping engine built in the USA.  It is a National and Michigan Historic Site.  The Cornish Pump also displays a large collection of mining equipment and contains the Museum Gift Shop.   Separately, the donation of an authentic WW II CG-4A Glider fuselage prompted the Museum to begin work on a CG-4A Glider exhibit.  A new Transportation Bldg will be on land behind the Cornish Pump.  For Glider Project details, please CLICK HERE
