Winona, Michigan is an unincorporated community, ghost town and one-time boomtown of Elm River Township in Houghton County, Michigan.
[3][4][5] In its heyday, Winona had restaurants, a brewery, sports teams, churches, boarding houses, a train depot, a saloon, stores, boardwalks, a school, five neighbourhoods, a dance hall and a barber shop.
[7][8][9][4][5] The Winona Mine itself was composed of four separate shafts, which had thirteen years later produced more than 16,000,000 lbs of pure refined copper, making it the largest of the two mines by far by both area and profit.
[9][7] The Winona Mine closed in 1923 due to low prices and demand for copper.
