About the Community

With small communities and big ideas, Michigan's Upper Peninsula is the perfect place for people to explore their many interests. Visit art galleries and museums, walk along the beaches of Lake Superior, hike, bike, and explore the beautiful nature trails. Hancock is a community that brings together small-town values, rich history, and a four-season wonderland for outdoor enthusiasts — without long commute times or congested highways.

The Keweenaw is home to two universities — Michigan Technological University and Finlandia University. The community benefits from the diversity, culture, and high standards of living contributed to our small town. Known as the "Copper Country" because of the natural "float" copper found in the area, much of the copper here is 90% pure, the purest in the world.
