Stoking the Finnish Fire: Sauna in the Keweenaw (The Crossing Place 2024)
A place of cleansing, relaxation, community, and peace - the sauna is a Finnish tradition that is rekindling its fire in the Keweenaw. The customs of sauna were brought to the Copper Country by the Finnish immigrants who sought work in the booming copper mining industry. While the mines faded, the Finns and their customs of sauna in the home and community did not. These days, appreciation for local Finnish-American history and wellness are bringing Keweenaw sauna culture to the fore! Jim Kurtti, Honorary Consul for Republic of Finland, speaks on the strength of the Sauna Belt.

    Though most of my passion lies under water (Amateur Underwater Archeologist) I always appreciate people taking the time to document and share history with others/ the world before it gets lost to the pages if time. Thank you for this video. I will have to stop by and see the area next year when I am up diving the wrecks around the Keweenaw... From Lansing, wishing you and your family a happy Thanksgiving, and a great week.

    Respecting Private Property is a big deal and too many people take that for granted! I own the Portage River Lighthouse and am in the process of restoring it, but it’s also my families home. Since it’s a historic maritime landmark people seem to feel entitled to enter the property and into our private areas without asking permission. Not only is this disrespectful but people also don’t understand the potential hazards of trespassing, such as where the undercut banks are, where construction is happening, and that the stucco on the tower is being removed and can fall off.

    Whatever might be done to encourage MDOT to place signs at the North and South entries to Brockway Mountain Dr informaing off-roaders that access via the paved road is unlawful in a ORV that is not licensed for road use and that there are no ORV trails to the peak would be helpful. MDOT is reluctant to place signs. Personally I have seen many ORVs/ATVs on the roadway/or at the top that are not licensed for "road" use.
