Calumet is a village in Calumet Township, Houghton County, in the U.S. state of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, that was once at the center of the mining industry of the Upper Peninsula. The population was 879 at the 2000 census. Calumet’s nickname is Copper Town U.S.A.
Theatre-
The Calumet Theatre is a theater and opera house which was constructed in 1900. In 1898, the copper mining industry was booming, and the town had an enormous surplus in its treasury. The town council decided to spend some of the surplus on a theater. The theater hosted a large number of famous actors, musicians, and opera singers. With the close of the mines, the theater became a movie theater and fell into general disrepair for many years. In 1975, the town began a large project to repair and restore the theater, which is now used for many local and touring productions. The theatre is a National Historic Landmark.
