A man came to visit me one day and asked a very good question.

What makes you a coal mining museum?

"If I removed all coal mining stuff from your building and placed it in a house down the street wouldn't that make it a coal mining museum?

So, it got me to thinking, what made this man think I was a coal mining museum? Why would he think that moving "stuff" would make me anything different than what I am..

Stories, collections,memories,education,geneology, history, facts, with a little fun and excitement thrown in, thats what I am about ..

Under my roof and within my exterior walls

some of the kindest ,intelligent, innocent,evil,entrepreneurial,wealthiest,poorest,softest,strongest,religious,

political,loving,educational, sneeky, orderly, slaved and hard working folks have entered and left their memory and mark.

I am a "People Museum".

What was that man thinkin?
