Review & Frequenly Asked Questions:

In the 1800s many immigrants came to Pennsylvania to build a new life in the anthracite coal mining industry. The Pennsylvania Anthracite Heritage Museum seeks to tell the story of these immigrants and their families, work, and traditions.

The museum's exhibits include a replica of a typical coal miner's home, a replica saloon, and many photographs of workers and their families. There is also a nearby exhibit consisting of four large iron furnaces. These massive stone structures were used for smelting the iron that was produced by the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company. The museum is open Wednesday through Sunday and is closed major holidays.
