Quincy Mine Hoist Description
The Quincy Mine Hoist is believed to be the largest steam powered hoist ever manufactured. It could lift 10 tons of ore at 36.4 miles per hour.

There are three options for touring the Quincy Mine Site: Surface Tour only, Surface Tour with Tram Ride, and Full Tour. All tours include the museum as well as a video-tour of the No. 2 Shaft-Rock House and a guided tour of the Nordberg team-powered hoist engine and the building it is in.

The Museum is located in the 1894 No. 2 Hoist Building. It features mineralogical exhibits including a 17-ton

solid copper boulder that was raised from Lake Superior.

The The Cog Rail Tram car takes visitors down the steep hill that overlooks the Portage Lake Lift Bridge.
