4.5Quincy Mine(412 reviews) - Excellent and informative Quincy Mine tour Monday: 9:30 AM - 5:00 PM Historic Sites • Mines
Very interesting tour of the mine with Allie as a great guide. The tour takes about 90 minutes and costs $35 per person. Reservations are recommended but if you are flexible, you can try to make them in person. There are lots of interesting things on property that are not included in the tour but outside exhibits could use more descriptive signage. It is amazing to listen to how hard these miners worked for a tiny salary with no benefits. NOTE: Bring a light jacket as temperature in the mine is about 42°. The full tour involves going up and down a few short segments of stairs. The ground is often wet with puddles but mostly level. There is some dripping from the ceiling. There are brief episodes of loud noise and total darkness but the guide warns you in advance. You are required to wear a plastic miner’s helmet for the duration of the tour.

The petroglyphs are in a gated area that is a short walk from the parking lot. The gated area is only open on select days (Wednesday through Sunday in the summer) from 10:00am-5:00pm. The docent who gives the tours is extremely knowledgeable. When my husband and I visited, the docent had just finished a tour for a large family group, but he started a new tour just for us. He spent at least 30 minutes explaining the Native American culture of the area, telling the stories behind the petroglyphs, and answering our questions. A number of other visitors viewed the petroglyphs rock during our tour, but declined to join the tour. Most of these visitors just looked at the petroglyphs for a few minutes before moving on to the nature trail. These people really missed out. The docent has so much information to offer. After viewing the petroglyphs, take a short hike on the nature trail (it's about a mile long). There is poison ivy along the trail, so just be careful to avoid it.See more..
4.5W. K. Kellogg Manor House(53 reviews) - Kellogg's foundation and Manor House Historic Sites • Gardens
First visited the Kellogg's Foundation building and was met by a security guard who was very helpful with providing information about Mr. Kellogg, family history, how the corn flakes came to be. Granted I was there on a week day where there wasn't much going on. I honestly did not expect to be caught up on the history of Kellogg's but the way he told the stories, the facts at his fingertips not only opens your eyes, but want to know more. The foyer has beautiful pieces of art and murals. And yes, he could tell you who, what, why of the art. Very impressive. The Kellogg Manor House is situated right behind the foundation's building. Make sure you call first if you want to tour the inside as it's not always open. I wasn't able to get in just peeped through the windows.See more..
