WE'LL BE THERE FOR FINN FEST 2013
Soon
Finn Fest starts in Hancock. They'll be clocking into the Fest on
June 19th and heading out on Sunday. The Quincy Smelter is a hop,
skip and a jump from downtown Hancock.
Why not join us on Saturday.
The
Quincy Smelter Association is hosting its first tour on June 22nd
between 10:00 AM and 3:00 PM at the Quincy Smelter. We're a right
turn on M-26 and about quarter mile up the road on the right. Every
hour, starting at 10:00 AM, we'll be offering a guided tour of the
entire smelter. The last tour begins at 2:00 PM. Our entrance fee
is $5.00 a person, children under 10 free and a discount for AAA
members.
The
Quincy Smelter is the only historical copper smelter in America.
Come see how your ancestors made the UP famous for its copper. Many
of the buildings are intact and we have a lot of the original
machinery. You'll be able to see how power was generated, coal and
ore brought in, how it was moved to the furnaces, what it took to
melt the ore and turn it into copper, how it was stored and shipped
and much, much more.
See
you there!
