Tour-Ed Mine and Museum

"Fun with the Family"

You’ll have to wear a miner’s hard hat and mind your head as you board a mining car, modernized for comfort and electrically powered, to travel a 0.5-mile underground at  Tour-Ed Mine and Museum into a genuine coal mine. Your tour guide, a real miner, will help you learn about the history of coal mining. It’s chilly down here, so bring your sweater. This is not for the claustrophobic.
Kids will enjoy a tour in a locomotive on the surface to see a demonstration strip mine and auger mine. You can also see the company store, 1785 log home, and sawmill. You can even see a bedroom set up like the ones where the miners slept. There are covered picnic areas and snacks available.
