About Menominee County
Great Lakes Memorial Marina Park is located in the heart of the city of Menominee’s historic waterfront downtown. The part includes one of the loveliest marinas on the Great Lakes, with transient docks, a playground, a picnic area and the Old Waterplant, a 19th century structure charmingly renovated for use as a boaters’ lounge.
The park is the site art shows, auto shows and other events, including the popular four-day Waterfront Festival, which begins the first Thursday of August, and Thursday-night outdoor concerts scattered throughout the summer.
Menominee County offers several public golf courses. In winter, the county offers snowmobiling, snowshoeing, ice skating, ice boating. Hunting is huge here!
History lovers and genealogy fans will enjoy the Menominee County Historical Society’s Heritage Museum in Menominee and the Michael J. Anuta Research Annex which offers access to family histories, city directories, photographs, bound newspapers and maps.
The IXL Historical Museum in Hermansville takes its unusual name from the logo of the Wisconsin Land & Lumber Company, which manufactured hardwood flooring.
