Another is in place at the downtown Art Park with either the colorful park or the Historic Ironwood Theatre across the street as a backdrop.
A selfie stand is already in place at Copper Peak and one will be placed at the Mount Zion overlook and another site as yet to be named, according to Scott Erickson, Ironwood city manager.
The selfie stands are paid for by the Ironwood Tourism Council and were installed by the city of Ironwood Public Works Department. The signs contain the familiar Find Your North logo of Ironwood made of metal by students of the Northwoods Manufacturing program at Hurley K-12 School.
