Artifact Overview

Industrial sites sometimes found new life as tourist attractions when their original purposes were no longer profitable. In Ashland, Pennsylvania, an anthracite coal mine that had ended operations in 1931 was opened to tourists in 1962. Visitors could travel into the mine aboard an electrically powered train, or they could take a scenic 30-minute ride aboveground on a steam railroad.
