The Aldrich Coal Mine Museum, located in Montevallo, Alabama, is a historical complex dedicated to interpreting the significance of coal mining in the region, featuring two historic structures tied to the Montevallo Coal Mining Company. The museum showcases a rich collection of artifacts, photographs, and displays that highlight the lives of mining families and the broader history of the coal mining community.

Built partly on the legacy of industrialist Truman H. Aldrich and his brother William, the museum contains the only monument to coal miners in Alabama and promotes an understanding of both local and state-wide history related to mining and community life. Visitors can explore exhibits housed in a former company store and Farrington Hall, offering a glimpse into the daily lives and economic impact of the coal mining industry in Alabama.
