after. Children can sit in an 1800s classroom.

*The Menominee Iron Range  refers to the rich mineral deposits
discovered and mined here, and this geographic area including
adjacent parts of Wisconsin.
The Menominee were Native Americans who lived in this
vicinity before Europeans.  The Menominee River forms part of
the state line between Michigan and Wisconsin, and it empties
into Green Bay of Lake Michigan.
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,
