Finns of Michigan's Upper Peninsula
Explore the lasting influence of the Finnish people in the Upper Peninsula.At the time, Hancock consisted of nothing more than a small cluster of humble buildings, but it was here, on the outskirts of mid-19th-century civilization, that Finnish settlement in Michigan's Upper Peninsula (UP) took root.
