There's a nice, small coal mining museum in Dante, in a former bank building, displaying many artifacts from the town's former glory. It's a heartening gesture to a tough decline. Know and appreciate your history to learn from the past.
Well said.

The museum has a fantastic scale model of the town. It gives you a good idea how a simple hollar is transformed by train track tentacles and company buildings and houses. From nothing, a coal removal machine.
Artifacts.
The grimmest reminder of sacrifice to king coal, a memorial to those people who lost their lives in the mines.
