Old Victoria’s Log Cabin Day Heritage Celebration

Take a step into the past on Sunday, June 28th at Old Victoria’s Log Cabin Day Heritage Celebration, taking place from 11 am to 5 pm EST.

The free event celebrates Michigan’s Log Cabin Day with an open house of the restored miner’s cabins that were originally built in 1899 to house workers of the Victoria Copper Mining Company. Visitors can hear stories of the lives of the miners and their families while touring the restored hand hewn log cabins and grounds.

The day features fresh, made-from-scratch cinnamon rolls that are baked on site by volunteers in the old-fashioned wood stove. Visitors can learn how to sew on an old crank sewing machine with Sew Cranky of Hancock. At 1:30, old-fashioned kids games invite all ages to join in the fun of various races and sports. At 2:30, visitors can enjoy traditional Finnish folk dancing by the Kivajat Dancers, a Finnish-American folk dance youth group from Hancock.

And don’t forget to save the date for the annual Craft Fair in August, the historic site’s main fundraiser of the year, that will be taking place on Sunday, August 17th.
