If you are visiting Michigan’s Upper Peninsula, do not miss the Quincy Mine! This was one of the highlights of our trip and an experience we will remember for a long time.
The mine tour was absolutely awesome! Walking into the historic mine and seeing firsthand the conditions the miners worked in was both fascinating and breathtaking. Quincy Mine operated for nearly 100 years and produced nearly a billion pounds of copper, and you can truly feel the history when you are underground. The tour also includes the incredible historic machinery, the massive steam hoist, the cog-rail tram ride, and several historic buildings and structures around the property.
Our tour guide was wonderful—very personable, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about the history. They did an excellent job explaining what life was like for the miners and helping us appreciate just how difficult and dangerous their work was.
Plan to spend around 3 hours here if you want to really enjoy the experience. The guided tour itself is about 2¼ hours, and you'll want additional time to explore the grounds, historic buildings, machinery and museum rather than rushing through.
A few tips for future visitors:
🥾 Wear waterproof boots or sturdy shoes. The mine is damp, and water seeps in from above. The underground walking areas can be wet and rocky, so boots are definitely the way to go. The mine stays around 43°F year-round, so bring a warm jacket or dress in layers—even if it's warm outside!
🧥 Dress warmly! Once you head underground, you'll definitely appreciate that extra layer.
🏭 Take time to explore the surface. There is so much more than just the underground tour. The historic buildings, old equipment, hoist machinery and other remnants of the mining operation really help bring the past to life.
🛍️ Don't skip the gift shop! We found some really nice things to purchase, including unique items featuring artwork and products from local artists. It's a great place to find something special to remember your visit, rather than just the typical souvenirs. The gift shop is located in the historic 1893 Supply Office, which makes even the shopping experience part of the history.
Overall, Quincy Mine was an incredible experience from beginning to end. The history, the mine itself, the machinery, the buildings, the scenery and especially the knowledgeable guide all made this a memorable stop.
If you're traveling through the Keweenaw Peninsula, put Quincy Mine on your list—you won't regret it! It is one of those places where you don't just learn about history…you get to step into it. ❤️💙
Highly recommend!

如果你打算游览密歇根州的上半岛,千万别错过昆西铜矿!这绝对是我们此行的亮点之一,也是一段我们会长久铭记的难忘经历。
矿洞游览体验简直棒极了!走进这座历史悠久的矿井,亲眼目睹矿工们曾经的工作环境,真是既引人入胜又令人惊叹不已。昆西铜矿运营了近100年,产出了近十亿磅的铜。当你身处地下时,真的能深切感受到那段历史的厚重与沉淀。参观行程中还包括那些极具历史价值的机械设备、巨大的蒸汽升降机、齿轨火车体验,以及园区内多处历史建筑与遗迹。
我们的导游非常出色——亲切随和、知识渊博,而且对历史怀有真正的热情。他/她详细地讲述了矿工们的生活状况,让我们深刻体会到那份工作的艰辛与危险。如果想要充分体验这里的氛围,建议预留大约3个小时。导览行程本身约2小时15分钟,此外你还需要额外时间来漫步园区、参观历史建筑、各种机械装置以及博物馆,而不必匆匆忙忙地走完。
给未来游客的一些建议:
🥾 请穿上防水靴或结实的鞋子。矿井内湿度较高,上方也有水渗下。地下通道湿滑且多石块,因此防水靴绝对是最佳选择。无论何时,矿井内的温度都维持在43华氏度左右。所以,请带上一件暖和的外套或穿多层衣物吧——即便外面天气很暖和!
🧥 穿暖和点吧!一旦进入地下,你肯定会感激自己多穿了这层衣服。
🏭 花些时间游览地面上的景色。这里可不只是有地下参观项目而已。那些历史悠久的建筑、古老的设备、提升机械以及采矿作业留下的各种遗迹,都能让你真切感受到那段历史的魅力。
🛍️ 千万别错过纪念品商店哦!我们在这里买到了不少心仪的好物呢。这里有诸多独具特色的商品,上面印有当地艺术家的作品或就是他们亲手制作的产品。相比于那些千篇一律的纪念品,这里是挑选能令你铭记此次参观经历的独特礼物的绝佳去处。礼品店设在历史悠久的1893年物资供应站中,因此购物过程本身也成了一段历史体验。
总的来说,昆西矿之旅从始至终都是一次极其难忘的经历。那里的历史底蕴、矿井本身、各种机械装置以及建筑群都令人印象深刻。这里的景致,尤其是那位博学的导游,让这次参观成为了一段难忘的经历。
如果你正打算游览基威诺半岛,一定要把昆西矿场列入行程清单——绝对不会让你失望!这是一个能让你不只是了解历史,还能身临其境感受历史的地方。❤️💙
极力推荐!
