9 Dock St
Lansford, PA 18232
Take a 1,600 foot train ride into the mountain, then walk 600 feet on a guided tour of the oldest continuously operated deep anthracite coal mine in the world. Walking the “mule-way” is just one of many experiences you will enjoy during a guided tour of the No. 9 Mine. View authentic equipment in a working environment dating back to 1855. The “Wash Shanty” Museum houses the largest mining artifact collection in the area as well as the gift shop. You can also enjoy a 57-minute documentary in the museum that focuses on the Anthracite Era & the Industrial Revolution before or after your tour. Open April through November.
