Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine

Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine

When in coal country, you must visit at least one coal mine. Having a brother that’s a miner and spending quite a lot of time at a mountain top removal site has made the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine land on the bucket list for me.

At the Exhibition Coal Mine, one can ride through the dark passages of a vintage coal mine. The guides are veteran miners and provide firsthand accounts of the daily responsibilities of miners.

If you want a history lesson that serves as the foundation of understanding West Virginia, the Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine is the place to start.
