We went with kids ranging from 8-16 and we all enjoyed this tour. It is long and I’m not sure I would bring young kids on this tour. Our guide, Tom, was great and very knowledgeable!

The employees working today were amazing at helping me learn more about my great grandpa’s life working in one of the mines near by. They were very informative and willing to work with me scheduling a last minute tour.Thank you!

Check out the tour when you are in Hancock! We had a very knowledgeable guide (Conner?). He did a great job and provided our group with so much history. We enjoyed the video, the museum and checking out the mine. In the winter - wear winter gear.

What an absolutely wonderful experience!Our tour guide who ended up here from California was truly outstanding. He has such a deep wealth of knowledge of the history of mining, and Quincy. He really took his time going over the history before we entered the mine and answered everyone’s questions. In the mine he knew everything front to back, and made the entire experience very exciting and educational. I have such a tremendous respect for this history of mining now. Highly recommend stopping by!!

The tour is fascinating and we recommend it! The tour underground is especially interesting. The hard and dangerous work of the miners and other workers of that era is astonishing.

This place is awesome. I was here 2 times last month, 10-24. Very informative and immersive environment. You really can get the feeling that the workers had to go through.

I had a great time visiting the mine! It was very educational, the tour guide had no problem answering the groups questions and navigating the spaces. Definitely listen to the warnings on what to wear, that mine level was cold, and theres a constant breeze moving from in/out of the mine once the doors open, so it feels colder.
