Dreamland, Michigan


Dreamland is an unincorporated community on Copper Island, in Torch Lake Township, Houghton County, in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. It has been described as being a "district of Bootjack" or in Bootjack, but it is a separate town. The town consists almost entirely of the Dreamland Inn and some docks on Torch Bay.

History

Dreamland was founded in 1913 with the building of the resort by Norbert Sarazin. A dance pavilion, originally quite a local attraction, burned in 1921 and Prohibition caused the closing of the bar; it reopened in 1947.
Logging was formerly the main industry in the town.
