"A Step in Time: A Walking Tour of Calumet, Michigan" was developed in part by Stan Dyl, a local resident of Calumet. The tour was designed to enable the visitor to recapture and experience the character of old Red Jacket (now Calumet) and its days of copper glory. Together, all the buildings still virtually intact, they express the informal character of a once prosperous mining town, financed largely by Boston investors but inhabited by first generation European immigrants who worked the mines. Old Red Jacket, never a planned company town, virtually grew in response to the great copper mining activity in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. The Red Jacket Downtown Historic District is living proof of the legacy of mining and miners and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places (excerpted from "A Step in Time: A Walking Tour of Calumet, Michigan").
