Anthracite Heritage Museum

The Anthracite Heritage Museum is located in McDade Park in Scranton, Pennsylvania. The Museum tells the story of the people who came from Europe to work in the anthracite mining and textiles industries. The Museum’s diverse regional collections represent all facets of work, life and values of the region’s ethnic communities. The Museum is owned and operated by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania’s Historical and Museum Commission, Harrisburg, PA. As part of the Anthracite Heritage Museum, the Coal Mine Tour allows visitors to descend 300 feet below the earth’s surface to explore abandoned tunnels of rock and coal while learning about life and hard coal times in the Shifting Shanty. There is an extensive display of mining tools and artifacts and jewelry crafted from hard coal.
