This antrhacite mine operated from 1855 to 1972. After a decade of perilous hard work, it was reopened as an authentic heritage attraction by local volunteers in 2002. Visitors travel 1600 feet by rail into the mine which features an underground hospital and passageways originally used by mules. Above ground visitors can tour the Wash Shanty Museum, a regional "family attic" briming with local folk art, mining tools, fossils, photographs and mining memorabilia.
