The Hanka Finnish Homestead museum deep in the forest near Keweenaw Bay is an only slightly restored semi-ruin that appears to have been abandoned long ago, dried-up cedar shakes falling off walls and roofs, yet giving a splendid picture of European-style subsistence farming in Upper Michigan before 1920. We spent much of an afternoon there.
