BridgeFest 2017

The Keweenaw Time Traveler attends its first summer festival.

The Keweenaw Time Traveler team had a great weekend interacting with BridgeFest visitors. Ray Kestner Waterfront Park, the location of the festival, is the former site of the Copper Range Railroad Co. Collaborating with visitors, we found our tent location (the 'X') on Sanborn Fire Insurance Plans from various years (1949 is shown above). As we learned, the present road takes its shape from the original roundhouse.
