Learning about the inner-workings of a facility like this while moving through the general population and seeing the tasks that need to be completed throughout every day and the security measures that need to be constantly followed is truly a learning experience for anyone interested in the operations and management practices of a well run and professional incarceration facility Beautiful architecture and gardens to boot.

Not only does this place teach you about the industry but it also gives you a sense of the local area and the history behind it all. The museum is free but does accept donations with a box up front so if you enjoy yourself as much as I did, five dollars, as suggested, is certainly worth it. The lady at the shop was very nice and it's a thoughtful and well-maintained museum and an overall very casual experience that immerses you in the human history of the UP. Definitely recommended!

There's opportunity to let your kids run around a bit, and there's an overlook-style view along the trail that's interesting. Figure an hour to visit and see everything and read the display signs, and kids will rush through a lot faster.

The art museum is 4,000 square feet and has two art galleries that exhibit a rotating display of artworks and collections. It is the largest art gallery on the Northern Michigan University campus and is also the only art museum with a permanent collection in the Upper Peninsula. My visit today was quiet as I was the only patron. As with much contemporary art, there are art pieces with a political message and that's okay. I tend to appreciate art for what I can see rather than what it makes me think. My favorite piece was the "All American Relic #16, 2021" by Grant Kaihoi and the caption is typical of art pieces, "[It is] an exploration of the sanctity of an individual. Utilizing the organic nature of wood and the precise results of wood craft I am working to understand time, brokeness, beauty, and what it means to exist as a created being, made by a good God, in a broken world." I thought it was interesting to look at and a quite attractive piece. The museum includes an outdoor sculpture garden with multiple artworks on display.

Go on this tour and you'll be nothing but AMAZED. The history of what the mine workers experienced…read moreto help this country grow and prosper will leave you speechless. Being in the mine adds a lot to the experience... you're seeing and feeling what the miners felt... except they didn't have the lights like you'll have. I'll also say that our mine tour guide, a student in the Geology program at Michigan Tech. was one of the best tour guides I've ever had for any tour. He is not only passionate and knowledgable about Geology, he knew so much detail about the Quincy mine on really every level, as well as the experiences and way of life of the miners themselves. I was floored by not only all he learned in order to be as knowledgable as he is, but also how much it's clear that he loves everything about the mine and miners... all while being a student with this as only a summer job. I was excited to take this tour. It was much, much more than I anticipated. If you go, bring warm clothing... I was in shorts and a thin long-sleeved shirt with a t-shirt underneath. That was NOT enough. Dress like it's a brisk winter day.

Then when they were forced to use single person drills, they felt isolated and feared for their safety. Yesterday when our LARGE Family group went, a couple of our littles make noise when our guide was talking. He asked that the children be taken outside. The children and their mothers were isolated from the group, outside alone at the bottom of a very steep hill, for over an hour. No one to keep them safe if an animal came out of the bushes, no bathroom or water. There was another child and its parents that were asked to leave the tour also. When the mothers called the front desk to ask about sending someone down to bring them back up, they said they don't do that. Talk about feeling unsafe and isolated
