(1)

The Quincy Mine Hoist Association preserves and interprets the history, landscapes, buildings, and industrial work experiences of the Quincy Mining Company, educating people about Michigan’s significant copper mining heritage. The Quincy Mine serves as a critical gateway into the Copper Country’s rich heritage. Utilizing its unique historical resources–its historic mining location, buildings, equipment and underground mine–as well as high-quality interpretive tours, exhibits and programming, the Quincy Mine site provides an engaging and informative experience, educating visitors about the rich cultural legacy of Michigan's copper mining era. We educate the public by conducting guided tours of several important surface buildings and of the interior of the mine, and by offering special tours for schools and other groups. The Quincy Mine Hoist Association is a not-for-profit, self-supporting 501(c)3 organization.

The Shaft House is also lighted tonight In celebration of the life of Lionel Beaudoin, Toivola, age 80, was laid to rest today.
Lionel was an outgoing friend to help those he knew. He was a loving father, uncle, brother and grandpa. With an ability to start a conversation with anyone. He had a deep passion for his John Deere tractors and his love for the Lord. He will be missed deeply by his family and those who knew him. He will forever be in our hearts. May he rest in eternal peace.

The Shaft House is also lighted tonight with "Roses to my Delta Zeta sisters!"

Tonight is the last night of performances for Music in the Mine. Michigan Tech Visual and Performing Arts puts on this every year where musicians come to the 1918 Hoist House and take advantage of the fantastic reverb the building creates. Unfortunately tickets sell out fairly quickly for this event as it is definitely something to behold.
