Arranged underground mine-history outings
Ride a former coal mine with a miner as your guide
Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine / City of Beckley
The city-operated Exhibition Coal Mine welcomes arranged groups into a former coal mine aboard a mine mantrip rail vehicle. Veteran miners guide the ride and explain the work and equipment of mining. Its current visitor page separately invites appointment-based group tours and special-event hours, making this a possible unusual group history outing rather than only walk-in admission.
