The [[The Calumet Theatre|Calumet Theatre]] is a theater and opera house which opened in 1900. In 1898, the copper mining industry was booming, and the town had an enormous surplus in its treasury. The town council decided to spend some of the surplus on a theater. The theater hosted a large number of famous actors, musicians, and opera singers.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.calumettheatre.com/history.htm|title=History of the Calumet Theatre|access-date=May 30, 2007|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20070622174036/http://www.calumettheatre.com/history.htm|archive-date=June 22, 2007|url-status=dead}}</ref> With the closing of the mines, the theater became a movie theater and fell into general disrepair for many years. In 1975, the town began a large project to repair and restore the theater, which is now used for many local and touring productions. The theatre was added to the [[National Register of Historic Places]] on August 5, 1971, and is also a Michigan State Historic Site.<ref>{{Cite book|url=https://catalog.archives.gov/id/25337646|title = Michigan Single Properties Finding Aid|series = File Unit: National Register of Historic Places and National Historic Landmarks Program Records: Michigan, 1964 - 2013}}</ref> The Theatre was the original recording venue of the [[The Red Jacket Jamboree|''Red Jacket Jamboree'']], an old-time radio variety show heard on Michigan [[Public Radio|public radio]] stations including [[Interlochen Public Radio]] and WNMU Public Radio 90.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.miningjournal.net/news/front-page-news/2018/12/red%e2%80%88jacket%e2%80%88jamboree/|title=RED JACKET JAMBOREE}}</ref>
