Old Victoria Offers More Than Craft Fair
   Every year in August, Old Victoria by Rockland,
MI, comes alive with a craft fair, kids games, log cabin
tours, and cinnamon rolls, which bring visitors back
annually. The cinnamon rolls are baked on site in an
old wood stove and served fresh out of the oven. The
historic log cabins in this old mining town are set up
as if you are taking a walk back into history. The tour
guides are dressed in historic attire and are full of
stories and knowledge of mining copper days. Kids
enjoy old fashion games, which include gunny sack
races. Hiking trails, behind the buildings, lead to the
ruins of where the mining shaft was located. The
views overlooking the Porcupine Mountains are
spectacular. An afternoon at Old Victoria gives a
true sense of the life and times of the copper min-
ers and their families back in the day.
