Ontonagon Annual Trip

The Ontonagon Area Schools eighth graders took their annual pilgrimage to Marquette on Nov. 5. The trip to the Shiras Planetarium has taken place each year since the first trip was undertaken in the fall of 1977. A stop was added at the Michigan Iron Industry Museum in Negaunee, when it first opened in the mid-1980s. A photo op at the 28.2 ton slab of float copper displayed at Presque Isle Park only goes back six years and is the most recent addition to the itinerary.
