This small museum has exhibits on coal mining, railroads, rural life, and the Buffalo Creek Disaster. On Saturday, February 26, 1972 three dams holding back ponds of coal slurry failed. 132,000,000 gallons of waste water rushed down Buffalo Creek Hollow destroying 16 coal mining villages and killing 125 people. Pittston Coal referred to the accident as "an Act of God."
The museum is accessible.
The parking lot is large enough for RVs. Museum
