Portal No. 31 Underground Mine Tour
offers 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.
