The Quincy mine was owned and operated by the Quincy Mining Company from 1864 to 1945 and was known as “Old Reliable.” The moniker came from the company regularly paying dividends to investors from 1868 until 1920. Portions of over a dozen buildings stand for visitors to see and experience. On a two-hour tour, visitors take a guided walk through the hoist house, ride a cog-rail tram, and enter the mine to learn about mining life. Shorter, surface-only tours are also available.

The Keweenaw Heritage Sites are official partners of Keweenaw National Historical Park, but are privately owned. Each site interprets and preserves an important aspect of the area's copper mining history and provides a unique visitor experience. Please contact individual sites for more information.
