Mid-Lothian Mines & Rail Roads Foundation
The Mid-Lothian Mines & Rail Roads Foundation is dedicated to preserving the history of America's first coal miners, showcasing one of the nation's early industrial sites. Established as a 44-acre park in 2004, it features the remnants of coal mines set against a backdrop of beautiful woodlands, highlighting the courage and innovation of those who contributed to the U.S. industrial revolution.
The park serves as a testament to the experiences of the first coal barons and the hundreds of enslaved individuals, poor whites, and immigrants who worked in the mines. Through exhibits and events, the foundation educates visitors about the triumphant and tragic stories of this pivotal chapter in American history.
