Beaumier U.P. Heritage Center

The Beaumier Upper Peninsula Heritage Center is a historical museum and educational facility on the campus of Northern Michigan University. The mission of the U.P. Heritage Center is to promote and preserve the history and culture of the Upper Peninsula through an active slate of exhibitions and engaging public programs for the whole region. The center also collects and preserves artifacts related to the history of Northern Michigan University. The center maintains a gallery in Gries Hall and several other displays throughout campus.

Due to the increasing rate of Covid-19 infections in Marquette County, Northern Michigan University is closing all of its buildings to non-NMU students, faculty and staff. This means the general public will not be able to visit the Museum until after the New Year. We are sorry for the inconvenience and look forward to opening again for the public in 2021.
