NEGAUNEE TOWNSHIP, Mich. (AP) — The Michigan Iron Industry Museum now is open year-round.
New winter hours go into effect Monday at the museum in Marquette County's Negaunee Township. It will be open 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. Mondays through Fridays and on the first Saturday of each month.
The museum is closed on state holidays. The state says winter hours will allow the museum to better serve school groups, organizations, local residents and travelers interested in learning about Michigan history.
The museum has a new entrance on U.S. Highway 41. A two-mile network of interpretive trails is scheduled to open at the museum in late 2010.
