About us
Opened in 1855, No. 9 Coal Mine, located in Lansford, Pennsylvania is the
world's oldest continuously operated anthracite coal mine! Closed in 1972, the mine was re-opened as a heritage tourism attraction in 2002.
Today visitors ride safely by train 1600 feet into the mountainside, to see and experience first hand what it was like for our fathers and grandfathers to work underground over the past 200 years.
Once inside the mine, experienced tour guides will lead you on a walking tour filled with amazing sights and fascinating stories! See the underground mule-way; miner’s hospital, and the 900 – foot deep original elevator shaft, which once hauled loaded coal cars to the surface! A visit inside No. 9 Mine is an experience that you will never forget!

Carey C. asked:Has anyone on here been to explore Centralia? I am looking for a day trip escape to take pictures and have heard of this abandoned town. I would love to check it out. Anyone who has lived here much longer than I that has any experience with this town or other interesting day trips around our state, please chime in. Thanks!Coleen W. replied:https://m.facebook.com/No.9MineMuseum/
