Mansfield Pioneer Church Iron County Michigan
The Mansfield Pioneer Church built in the late 1800's is site #6 on the Western Upper Peninsula
Heritage Trail. Open to the public it is a wonderful example of days gone by and log structures.
In 1893, the Michigamme River broke through and flooded the underground mine where 27 miners had
descended into the dark earth tunnels never to return. Just west of the Mansfield mine disaster
you can visit some of the original buildings from the community, including the Pioneer Church,
which was completely restored in 1987 as a landmark and reminder of the small mining settlement.
Location: 7 miles N of M-69 on Mansfield Cutoff Rd, 1 mile N on Stream Rd. Open all year.
More information: 906-875-6098.
