The Van Lear Historical Society Inc. is dedicated to preserving the rich history of Van Lear, Kentucky, a town incorporated in 1912 owing its existence to the coal mining industry. With roots in the entrepreneurial spirit of John Caldwell Calhoun Mayo, the society aims to honor the legacy of the community and its inhabitants, particularly the coal miner families who shaped its identity.

Home to the Coal Miners' Museum, the society also organizes school reunions and town celebrations, fostering connections among former and current residents. Membership supports the efforts of the organization and includes a quarterly newsletter, The Bankmule, keeping the history and spirit of Van Lear alive.
