Coal Is Why They Came

Perched atop a mountain ridge at the center of the planet’s largest concentration of anthracite coal, Eckley Miners’ Village is a world within a world. Visit our authentic 19th-century company mining town to experience the lives of the working-class families who fueled America.

Explore our new virtual oral histories collection.

Eckley Miners’ Village is administered by the Pennsylvania Historical and Museum Commission.
