Keweenaw National Historic Park....

Quincy Mine in winter )click to enlarge)

...Michigan, way up at the northeastern tip of the Upper Peninsula,
is the "little" park, a mine, where discovery is spectacular;
for 7000 years until the early 1900's people dug up here,
digging for copper, first for tools, then for kettles to make beer.

The buildings are of stone taken from the mine,
some are falling down, some preserved over time,
the rock that wasn't used, went the final mile,
all to a designated place, The Poor Rock Pile. (that's a fact)

A Note:  I love finding these out of the way places, can't imagine how many driving hours it
world take to reach some of them, always something new to see, even for a geezer.
