Wyatt visiting the old Quincy Smelter:  This is the only copper smelter left in Michigan.  It once was a busy factory that turned mined copper rock and  melted it to make copper  ingots.  Quincy Smelter is being preserved to remember the past for its contribution to the American Industrial  Revolution. The smelter is in its infancy in its preservation efforts.  Most building are not even lighted yet.

This is where the mine rock was poured in to mine cars and taken to the furnace to be melted.

Revolving laydo's to which the hot copper liquid was poured into from the furnace.
