Description
The Lackawanna Coal Mine is a museum and retired coal mine located in McDade Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania.
I descended slowly into the earth in a mine car entering the old Slope #190.
Accompanied by a miner in the winding underground gangways and rock tunnel we pasted through different veins of hard coal, past the mule boy and the dead chute.
He explains the fascinating methods used, and the heroic efforts involved, in deep mining’s history.
The descent down the slope takes about 5 minutes and the temperature in the mine is 53° year round.
The walking portion of the tour is approximately a 1/2 mile and lasts one hour.
WOW, I had asked about what they did when somebody died on the job and he said that they took the body to the families home. :-o
Those were the good old days back in the 1800's.
