Drummond Island Historical Museum
|
This local museum emphasizes artifacts of Indians, Finnish farmers, and Yankee settlers from the island's early historical period. Other displays cover the British Fort Drummond, the lumber era, sporting camps, ferry boats, and the island's rich fishing and boating history. A new building made of hand-hewn logs from the island replaces the museum building that burned. The fireplace has been made from the stones of a chimney at Fort Drummond.
In Drummond Village, 10 miles from the ferry. Take M-134 east about 8 miles, turn north (left) at the island's main four-corners, proceed to village, then take shore road left about 1 block to museum. (906) 493-5746. Open daily 1-5 from Mem.
