Lighting Dedication

 

 

 

 

January 26 – No Dedication Tonight 

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.
For more information about shaft house lighting dedications, please call 906-482-3101.

Past Dedications:

In a year which we acknowledge the Hoist Association’s 65th anniversary, Mrs. Spence is someone worthy of special thanks: After spending many years of service on the Board of Directors she was appointed Director Emeritus of the Hoist Association and is directly responsible for the printing of some of the copper country’s most treasured publications.
Jan. 24 – To wish Andrew Hodges a Happy 60th Birthday!
Jan. 3 – In memory of Mike Lahti. An example of leadership to be followed in politics and representation, in board and business success, and pure civic vitality. He will be missed by many.
Jan. 1 – 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.
Dec. 31 – To ensure the New Year arrives with brightness. 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.
Dec. 25 –  In memory of Glenn Wiswell and Larry Williams, who left us on Christmas day, and for Jean Wiswell, who loved Christmas.
