Hancock, Michigan
The Michigan town of Hancock traces its roots to the establishment of the Quincy Mine in 1859 during the copper mining boom in the Keweenaw Peninsula. Home to Finlandia University, it is the hub of Finnish-American culture in the United States.
Hancock & Houghton Images
These images were gleaned from one of my old VHS video tapes. Showing different areas of Hancock & Houghton, MI; as well as the world's heaviest lift bridge that spans The Portage Waterway.This same Area used to be one of the large producers of copper in the USA. The Quincy Mining Company along with the Calumet and Hecla mining company in Calumet produced more
processed copper than any other area in the United States and perhaps the world wnen mining was at it's peak.

SUMMARY
=======
Keweenaw National Historical Park is a unit of the U.S. National Park Service. Established in 1992, the park celebrates the life and history of the Keweenaw Peninsula in the Upper Peninsula of the U.S. state of Michigan. As of 2009, it is a partly privatized park made up of two primary units, the Calumet Unit and the Quincy Unit, and 21 cooperating Heritage Sites located on federal, state, and privately owned land in and around the Keweenaw Peninsula. The National Park Service owns approximately 1,700 acres (690 ha) in the Calumet and Quincy Units. Units are located in Baraga, Houghton, Keweenaw, and Ontonagon counties.
The Congressional legislation establishing the Park stated, among other things, that:
(1) The oldest and largest lava flow known on Earth is located on the Keweenaw Peninsula of Michigan. This volcanic activity produced the only place on Earth where large scale economically recoverable 97 percent pure native copper is found.
(2) The Keweenaw Peninsula is the only site in the country where prehistoric aboriginal mining of copper occurred. Artifacts made from this copper by these ancient Indians were traded as far south as present day Alabama.
