Baraga Attractions
Baraga County was named after Father Frederic Baraga, a Bishop from northern Michigan. Baraga is located in the harbor of Keweenaw Bay. Many recreational opportunities are available such as fishing and boating in summer and snowmobiling in winter.
Hanka Homestead Museum features a 1920s Finnish farm that has been restored and is complete with furniture, dishes, tools, and farm equipment reflective of the period.
Frederic Baraga, the first Bishop of the Upper Peninsula and the Apostle of the Great Lakes, was given the title of the "Snowshoe Priest" due to the long treks overland in the winter months. He served both the native population and the small communities of copper miners on the Keweenaw Peninsula.
