About Us:
The Kentucky Coal Mining Museum is located deep in the heart of the Appalachian coal fields in a former coal camp town, Benham, Harlan County, Kentucky.

Through the vast displays within and around the museum, tourists will be immersed in the life of a coal miner and his family as they struggled to make     a life for themselves not knowing how valuable their contributions were to the industrialization of the 20th century.
