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.

The adventure continues as you approach the portal of the Quincy Mine East Adit (1895). The adit is approximately 15 feet high and 15 feet wide and is lighted for the entire 2000' walk for the convenience of our visitors.
The cogwheel tram will be in operation for the 2021 season, but due to mechanical issues, is temporarily out of service. We hope to have it back in operation soon!
