About the event

The Italian Hall Disaster of Christmas

On Christmas Eve 1913, 73 people died (mostly children) in a stampede following a false cry of “Fire!” at the Italian Hall in Calumet in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan. The tragedy occurred during a miner’s strike in the “Copper Country.” Hear the rest of the story with Janet Kasic of Travel Talk Journeys.
