Since 2004 Since November 26, 2004, the Michigamme Community Library has been a valued part of the community, providing residents and visitors with convenient access to books, educational materials, and local resources. Supported by the Michigamme Township Board and the generosity of community members, the library continues to operate as a welcoming space for readers of all ages. The library is staffed by dedicated volunteers and offers a diverse collection of fiction, non-fiction, children's books, large print titles, maps, and magazines. Many of the books available today have been purchased through donations and community fundraising efforts, helping the collection continue to grow and evolve with the interests of local readers. One of the unique features of the Michigamme Community Library is its accessibility and community-centered approach. The library has long served residents who appreciate having a nearby place to browse, read, and borrow books at their own pace in a relaxed and friendly environment. Over the years, the library has enjoyed strong support from the community and continues to maintain a high level of readership for a small rural library. Families, children, seasonal residents, and longtime community members all contribute to making the library an important local resource and gathering place. The Michigamme Community Library remains grateful to the Township Board, volunteers, donors, and patrons whose continued support helps ensure the library remains available for future generations.
Lakeview Cemetery Project
Have you been out to the Lakeview Cemetery? There are so many beautiful areas and history that is told with each headstone. With all the recent interest in genealogy, people are turning to old town cemeteries to help trace their backgrounds. Renee Sari (and several others) has graciously been spending her time gathering information on the townspeople who have chosen Lakeview as their final resting place. Unfortunately, after much time, it has been discovered that 200 graves do not have markers of any kind. Some of the markers have been destroyed by weather over the years while others might not have had a marker to begin with. The Cemetery Project is attempting not only to discover who is resting at each place but also to gather enough in donations to mark each grave. (Documents are being assembled at the museum, just ask.) At this point 77 names have been confirmed out of the 200. As the donations come in, these names will have a marble slab with their name engraved placed inside a cement marker. Several people in the area have volunteered their skills to make this happen. The "Gone but Not Forgotten" Dance was a nice start to get the donations started, however, more is still needed. Anything you could donate would be appreciated. Please either drop off your donations at the museum, or send it to:
