Vintage Copper Harbor

My family has been coming to Copper Harbor for more than 80 years. We've got a lot of stuff that I'll hopefully scan and get up here for others to enjoy at some point, but for now I thought I'd just start this blog to collect stuff that I come across on the web. Please feel free to write me if you want to submit some stuff to the page.
