Description
The Lackawanna Coal Mine is a retired coal mine and museum located in McDade Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
300 feet beneath the earth through an anthracite coal mine originally opened in 1860.
Some folks are terrified to actually go down this deep and tour below the underground, but this is what you would see if you did.
Coal mines or Coal Breakers of the anthracite regions of Pennsylvania could not fail to be forcibly impressed by the large number of boys, many of them of a very tender age of 12yrs old, employed in the collieries as drivers of mules and door tenders, and in the Screen room as slate pickers.
This is the view of the gangway split through the airway doors.
