The Houghton County Historical Museum is the home of the Copper Country Railroad Heritage Center, located in historic Lake Linden. Once the site of the largest copper milling operation in North America, Lake Linden now offers a beautiful park on the shores of Torch Lake. Picnic facilities, overnight camping, a swimming beach, and boating facilities are available in the park, which is directly adjacent to the museum campus, allowing easy access by footpath.
