The former Quincy No. 2 mine shaft with accompanying hoist house is now owned and operated by the Quincy Mine Hoist Association, a Keweenaw Heritage Site. This site interprets the story of the Quincy Mining Company, one of the commercially successful mines in the region. The Quincy Mine Hoist Association, Inc. is a not-for-profit, 501(c)(3) corporation. It owns and operates the Quincy Mine properties. Its two-fold purpose is to educate people about the history of copper mining in Michigan, especially about the Quincy Mining Company, and to preserve the mine site.
