Postcards from the Past!

​Have you ever received a postcard from some exotic place? Maybe a friend was vacationing in France, or a family member in Hawaii? Or maybe Calumet?

​As David Lowenthal put it, “The Past is a Foreign Country,” and you might soon be receiving a postcard from that foreign country! Yes, the Keweenaw Time Traveling crew will be sending out several rounds of postcards throughout the Copper Country over the next couple of months. We’re going through our records and finding historic houses that are still standing and sharing some information about their inhabitants.

​With lots of help from several Michigan Tech Social Sciences students, we were able to get our first round of postcards out on 12 December 2022. We have LOTS more postcards, so keep an eye out over the coming months!
