Portal No. 31 Underground
Mine Touroffers visitors the unique experience of touring
an actual coal mine by rail car. Visitors will adorn the traditional
protective gear of the coal miner as they enjoy animated exhibits
along the tour. Outside Portal #31 stands a black granite monument
in tribute to long time president of the United Mine Workers John
L. Lewis and a memorial to U.S. Steel District #1 miners who died
in mining accidents. The site also features a 1920s lamphouse, bathhouse,
L&N train depot and loadout system.
Portal 31 is closed for the winter and will reopen March 1, 2010.
