Quincy Smelting Works
The Quincy Smelting Works, located at 48991 Maple Street in Hancock, Michigan, is a museum and tourist attraction that offers visitors a unique glimpse into the history of the copper industry in the United States. Built by the Quincy Mining Company in 1898, the smelter was used to refine copper from the surrounding mines and also accepted custom work from neighboring operations. Over time, the facility expanded with the addition of new buildings to accommodate changing technologies. After the decline of the industry following World War II, the smelter closed its doors in 1971. However, the site was preserved and eventually included in the Quincy Mining Company National Historic Landmark District and Keweenaw National Historical Park. In 2007, efforts were made to save and restore the smelter, with the assistance of the National Park Service, Environmental Protection Agency, and local nonprofit groups. Today, the Quincy Smelting Works is open for guided tours from late June to mid-October, offering visitors a chance to learn about the machinery, processes, and workers that played a crucial role in Michigan's copper industry. As the only remaining industrial site of its kind in the world, the Quincy Smelter provides a valuable opportunity to explore and appreciate this important aspect of American history.
Quincy Dredge Number Two
Quincy Dredge Number Two, formerly known as the Calumet and Hecla Dredge Number One, is a historic dredge located in Torch Lake, Michigan. Constructed in 1914 by the Bucyrus Company, this dredge was used to reclaim stamping sand from the lake for further processing. Designated a Michigan State Historic Site in 1978, the Quincy Dredge Number Two has a steel hull measuring 110 feet long and 56 feet wide, with a processing capacity of over 10,000 short tons of sand per day. The dredge is currently sunk in shallow water in Torch Lake, with most of the superstructure and the large boom visible above the waterline. It is a fascinating piece of industrial history that offers a glimpse into the mining operations of the past.
