The Time Traveler team was happy to meet the Hubbell Society genealogy group who came to the Copper Country to celebrate their ancestor Jay A. Hubbell who shaped our shared landscape in so many ways! Hubbell’s estate called The Highlands stood on this site from 1875-1904 until he gave the land to the state to add this administration building to the Michigan College of Mines. Hubbell had already given all his land to the East for the school’s earlier building. His name has mostly been erased from the campus landscape except for this street sign. Do you know where it is?

You did it! Citizen Historians have classified the materials of over 60,000 Keweenaw buildings from 1888–1949. That means that every building in the Explore App can be identified as brick, stone, wood, iron or a combination of those materials. All your hard work is already making the Time Traveler more fun for everybody! Thank you. Don't worry—You can still be involved! Citizen Historians can keep working on the Time Traveler. Now, help get more information into the database by transcribing the hand-written map notations, or classifying buildings by their everyday uses. Give it a try!
