The Pocahontas Mine & Museum, located in the historic town of Pocahontas, Virginia, serves as a National Historic Landmark and Virginia's official coal heritage zone. This site highlights the town's significant role in the coal boom of the 1880s, which was pivotal in launching the Norfolk and Western Railroad into national prominence.

Pocahontas, named after the Algonquian Indian woman, is part of Tazewell County and boasts a rich history tied to coal mining and the birth of jazz pianist Teddy Weatherford. With a population of 389 as of the 2010 census, the town is also recognized for its ATV-friendly environment and its connection to the Bluefield, WV micropolitan area.
