The Quincy Mine Experience

“We wanted to do something unique during our vacation, and the guided tour at Quincy Mine was wonderful! The history is fascinating, and not only were the adults enthralled, but our five- and 12-year old loved it too! The guide made it easy to imagine living during that period, and seeing the mine and equipment first-hand really helped create the picture.

We highly recommend visiting Quincy Mine and the items in the gift shop are unique and not to be missed!”
