Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine and Youth Museum

This is an excellent tour and museum! We were on the fence about stopping here as we had a 6 hour trip home ahead of us. We are so happy we did and had to pull ourselves back to the car! We rode a train into an actual coal mine guided by a retired miner- very friendly and with personal stories of his childhood and time mining. The buildings that have been moved to the property from mining towns are also excellent. The children's museum is great for littles and the puzzle room there kept us parents and our older kids entertained. The blacksmith was there today and was another wealth of information. We spent 3 hours here! Highly recommended!
