Visiting Keweenaw National Historical Park is different from many other national park sites. The park was established to preserve and interpret the history of copper mining on the Keweenaw Peninsula through partnerships. The National Park Service works with a variety of organizations, including public and private entities, to achieve this goal.

Most visitor services for Keweenaw National Historical Park, such as guided tours or museums, are provided by the park's partners known as Keweenaw Heritage Sites. These sites are not owned or operated by the National Park Service but park staff work with these sites to coordinate services and preservation efforts. For more information on the Keweenaw Heritage Sites, including hours of operation and fees, request a copy of the annual park newspaper or view it online here.

The National Park Service operates a seasonal visitor information desk at the Quincy Mine & Hoist Gift Shop located north of Hancock, Michigan along U.S. Highway 41. Here you can acquire information on the park and visiting the Keweenaw Heritage Sites.
