Helping to preserve and interpret our history, the NPS and cooperating sites lay out such a variety and depth of experiences that a curious visitor could be busy for weeks or more. Start at the NPS visitor centers (Calumet and Quincy) to get an overview and enjoy from there.
Come take a look at Pot hole ridden streets, dilapidated buildings, & rock piles. Locals call it " Little Flint" Talk about fantastic. Truly breathtaking. Get 8 bulldozers abreast of each other, Go down 4th street, Then, 5th & the same for 6th. Its called Urban Renewal. Your plan ain't working folks. There are 5 bright spots.

grand old buildings done in an imposing style of beautiful design mixed together with lots of great present day businesses... always a nice place to visit
We took the quincy mine tour and it was fabulous! Interesting, historical, and you go in to the actual mine. You enter a large tunnel so not claustrophobic at all.
Absolutely beautiful park. Prettiest disc golf course I've ever been to. There are some unmarked ruins around the course, some of them just look like a pile of rocks.
This is a great place to learn about Michigan copper mining history. The buildings are interesting, docents very knowledgeable, and taking a ride into one of the mine shafts can be educational and somewhat frightening if you don’t like closed spaces. I spent time after the guided tour walking the grounds and seeing more of the old equipment and buildings on my own. This tour really makes you appreciate the hardships the miners go through even today!
Great hearing park that rarely gets visited. I really enjoy spending time in the upper peninsula of Michigan and this as far north as you can get. I like how it's a mixture of places ran by the National Park Service, state and local historical societies, and private citizens. I only spent a few days here but wish I had more time, I'll definitely be back.
If you're looking for a great family vacation, I highly recommend the Keewanaw peninsula. So much to do and see. Whether you're a history or nature lover you won't be disappointed. We took the Quincy Mine tour and found it very interesting.
