Copper Country Trail
Keweenaw National Historical Park: Quincy Unit, MI
The Quincy Unit is an integral component of the Keweenaw National Historical Park. This site interprets the story of the Quincy Mining Company, one of the first commercially successful copper mines in the Keweenaw. Viewing the largest steam hoist in the world and riding the cog tram to an underground mine tour are the highlights of touring the buildings and properties and will give visitors an excellent insight into the life of a miner and the industry that shaped his life.
