Gwinn Michigan is a village with a personality as distinct as its picturesque surroundings. Tucked away in Marquette County, this charming community—often referred to as "Model Town"—was originally developed by the Cleveland-Cliffs Iron Company in the early 1900s to house its employees. This fascinating history gives Gwinn a unique architectural character and a legacy of resilience tied to its industrial roots.

Despite its modest size, Gwinn is brimming with opportunities for outdoor adventure and serene escapes. Its proximity to the Escanaba River and numerous nearby lakes makes it a haven for fishing, kayaking, and canoeing enthusiasts. For those who prefer land to water, Gwinn’s trails are perfect for hiking, mountain biking, and snowmobiling, offering scenic views and a chance to immerse yourself in the breathtaking beauty of Michigan’s Upper Peninsula.

Gwinn also embodies the spirit of community. Local events bring residents and visitors together to celebrate the seasons, from summer farmers' markets to cozy winter gatherings. Its schools, parks, and businesses reflect a pride in preserving the friendly, neighborly atmosphere that makes this village so welcoming.
