This is coal country, the part of the nation that fueled America’s rise to the dominant industrial nation in the world and the people of communities such as Cleveland often risked their lives on a daily basis in the course of their jobs. They worked deep in the Earth, in conditions that were sometimes shockingly harsh and many of them paid a heavy price for their labors. Museums such as this are a testament to the courage of these everyday daredevils who persevered through not only hard work, but economic times that could be as tough as the mines themselves.
