Renovating the cogwheel tram tracks was a major capital project, underwritten by a US Rural Development Loan. The work was done entirely by local contractors, who battled the elements at times to get the job done. We are still in need of donors to help underwrite the cost of this project: find out how you can tie in to this project by contacting 906-482-5569.
Seasonal Tours are also available of the Quincy Smelting Works, located on the waterfront of the Portage Canal!
The shaft house is lighted tonight in memory of Karen M. Halkola, who left us one year ago, with love from her husband Mark and her four children, Zach, Lindsay, Abbi, and Seth.

When you get off the cog rail tram your underground guide will drive you through the adit (horizontal mine entrance) nearly one-half mile straight into the side of the hill. The adit is approximately 15 feet high and 15 feet wide. On the way to the No.
The cogwheel tram will not be in operation for the 2020 Season, but please visit the Quincy Mine to see the Midwest's only Cog Wheel Tram in action in the future!
