Fascinating to learn about the history of coal miner living over a 100 years ago.
[Ken Mayfield, 06/10/2025]Even my 13 year olds loved it. The miner that did the tour was so informative without being dramatic -- really let you visualize how hard mining work and still is. It brings an appreciation to an industry and the people that often are overlooked.

Pack a lunch -- there is a nice area to picnic and make the day a bit less stressful.
