When its miners joined the national coal strike of 1922, the W. J. Rainey Coal Company expelled them and their families from the company-owned patch houses near the Revere Mine. To house them, the United Mine Workers of America set up this tent city on a farm outside of the coal company property near Revere, PA. Some miners and their families lived here through the cold winter of 1922-1923.
