A worthwhile colorful side trip is taking Victoria Dam Road from the town of Rockland through the Ontonagon River valley to Old Victoria. Once a mining village for those who worked the Victoria Copper Mine, the site now includes several restored buildings from that era.

Fall color embraces the Old Victoria restoration, sponsored by the Old Victoria Society. Tours are offerd daily (11 am to 5 pm) from Memorial Day weekend through the Fall Color Season. We arrived a little too late to catch the tour in 2006, but we have taken it in past years. A very interesting peak into life in these parts 100 years ago.
