Directions to the Hiawatha Office
129 W. Baraga, Ste. C
Marquette, MI 49855
Detour for summer 2010
If you enter Marquette from the south on U.S. 41, both your directions to our office and to the Tourist Park will be affected by a major construction project at the intersection of U.S. 41/M-28 and US 41 West. (Marquette is getting its first round-about!)
As of May 4, the plan is to route traffic northbound into downtown Marquette onto Lakeshore Blvd. You should be able to return to Front Street at Spring Street in downtown. Turn left on Spring, left again on Front, then right on Baraga. Then it's one half block to 129 W Baraga - The NonProfit Commons - on the South (Left) side of the street. We're in Suite C. Enter the door closest to the former Firestone store, walk straight up the ramp to the last office on the right.
Regular office hours: noon to 6 p.m., Tuesdays and Wednesdays.
We check our email and voicemail throughout the week.
Please check this site or our outgoing voicemail in June for expanded, pre-Festival hours.
