Super impressive mechanical machine from 1918. That's the largest steam powered hoist dru - for a 9000'+ incline. 1000000+ lbs put together in pieces after the building was up due to delivery delays because of steel rations in WWI.
Terrifying man skip too!

"Quincy Mine is nestled in the quiet town of Hancock, Michigan. The Quincy Mining Company was one of the largest producers of copper within this area’s world renowned mining district. Operating underground from 1846 to 1945, the Quincy Mine produced nearly one billion pounds of copper that fueled the industrialization of our nation." |

The Shaft House is lighted tonight and for the entire month of May for Neurofibromatosis (NF) Awareness Month, to bring awareness for a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. NF affects one in 2,000 people in all populations. There is no cure, yet. Visit the Children’s Tumor Foundation www.ctf.org or Neurofibromatosis Michigan www.nfmich.org for more information. |

Looking for something to do on a rainy day? How about a trip back into history with a tour at Quincy Mine! Our early tours are already booked, but we'd be glad to do a tour at 1:30 pm today (Friday) if enough folks are interested. And to make it even more enticing, this is an "Everyone's a Student!" weekend in celebration of MTU commencement. Show up with a student and everyone gets in for the student price! (half off for adults!). Book online at www.quincymine.com or call the Gift Shop at 906-482-3101 for more information. |
