Millie Mine, an iron mine first built in 1880, is now abandoned by miners, but inhabited by millions of bats. For more information on the Iron Mountain Iron Mine, go to Jake Menghini Historical Museum The Iron Mountain Iron Mine is open and giving tours from June 1st through October 15th. The Iron Mountain Iron Mine is located at W4852 US Highway 2 in Vulcan, Michigan, nine miles east of Iron Mountain, Michigan. The Iron Mountain Iron Mine is still open for tours during the summer months and provides visitors with the history of this particular mine and a good overview of miner's lives at the time the mine was operational. In 1956, the mine reopened and guided walking tours were started, taking tourists down into the mine, a train was later added to the mine, taking out much of the walking aspect of the earlier tours. This mine was among the earliest on the Menominee Range and when iron ore was first mined at this site, the ore was very rich, over 70% iron. It is a deep shaft mine and was closed in 1945 because open-pit mining became more profitable. The Iron Mountain Iron Mine, also called the Big John Iron Mine, was in operation from the 1870s until 1945 and produced over 22 million tons of iron ore during that period. For more information on the Immaculate Conception Church, go to Iron Mountain Iron Mine The Immaculate Conception Church is open year round to visitors. The Immaculate Conception Church is located at 506 E. Immaculate Conception Church, or Mary Most Holy Immaculate of Lourdes, was dedicated on Januand still stands today. Within five months, a new church was built from the generous donations from the Italian families in the area, in monetary value, resources, time, and labor. In 1902, a new parish priest came, Father Sinopoli, and within a few months he had organized a building committee for a new church. That same year they built a frame church, but in 1893, the church burned down and was rebuilt. In 1890, many of the Italian Catholic families in the community organized the building of a church. Many Italian immigrants arrived to work in Iron Mountain's iron mines in the late eighteen hundreds and early nineteen hundreds. For more information on the Cornish Pumping Engine, the Chapin Mine, and the Waco EG-4A Gliders, go to Dickinson County Courthouse and Jail The Cornish Pump Museum is open from mid-May through mid-October. The Cornish Pump and Mining Museum is located at 300 Kent Street, Iron Mountain, Michigan. By the end of the War, the Ford plant in Kingsford had manufactured 4,190 CG-4A gliders, more than twice the amount of gliders produced. During the peak production time, the workers turned out eight gliders per day.
This Ford Company was converted from manufacturing wooden-sided station wagons since 1931 to producing these transport gliders. In 1942, the Ford Motor Company signed a contract to build 1,000 gliders for use during World War II. The Ford Motor Company in Kingsford, Michigan, built more Waco CG-4A Gliders for use during World War two than any other plant in North America.
The Museum also has an exhibit on the Waco CG-4A Glider. In the years between 18, the mine produced over 27 million tons of iron ore. The mine finally closed in 1932, though large amounts of ore remain in the ground, they are too expensive to mine, and the pits filled with water. It was able to pump 3,400 gallons of water per minute, or 5,000,000 gallons each 24 hours. In 1893, the Cornish Pump began operation. As the mine progressed deeper into the swamp, normal water pumps were not able to handle the amount of water that needed to be removed. It was also one of the wettest mines ever worked because part of the iron to be mined was located under a cedar swamp. The Chapin Mine was discovered in 1879 and is now considered one of the greatest iron mines in the world. The Cornish Pumping Engine is the largest steam-driven pumping engine built in the United States, and it was used at the Chapin Mine in Iron Mountain, Michigan. The Cornish Pump and Mining Museum houses the Cornish Pump, along with other mining equipment, and an exhibit on the Waco CG-4A Glider.
