No. 9 Coal Mine and Museum

About

You ride a battery-powered mine car 1,600 feet into the mountain. This mine has been operated continuously from 1855 to 1972. The guided walking tour takes you through narrow passages, the mule-way, and a hospital carved into solid rock. Bring a jacket... it's 50°F inside and genuinely damp. The museum above ground is in the original miners' wash shanty with the area's largest collection of mining artifacts. Open April–November
