Lighting Dedication

January 1 – The shaft house is lighted tonight to kick-off the celebration of the Quincy Mine Hoist Association’s 65th year! Thank you for helping us maintain over six decades of preservation and interpretation.

For a small donation you can illuminate one of the Copper Country’s most iconic structures. A shaft house lighting dedication is a unique way to remember a special date or occasion or to honor someone important in our lives. Built in 1908, Quincy’s No. 2 shaft house is a monument to the industry that built our communities and the laborers that led us to where we are. A guiding light looking out over the quiet towns of Hancock and Houghton, an illuminated shaft house is a reminder to all to pause for a moment of quiet reflection and serenity in our busy lives.

As we reflect on 2025, we would like to thank our guests, patrons, and the community around us for your support through another incredible year. We hope that you enjoyed your trip to Quincy as much as we appreciated seeing you, and we look forward to the “celebratory” time that lay ahead.
