No.9 Coal Mine & Museum The oldest, longest running, continuously operated coal mine in the world! 1855-1972 A visit inside No. 9 Mine is an experience that you will never forget!

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!

Our road is being paved today but we are still open!! Visitors can pull into the first driveway on the left by the road closures sign coming from Courtright st. Anyone coming in from 209 can pull in through the grass on the right before the wooden gaurdrail. Please hug the gaurdrail to your left when coming through the grass so you don't hit any dips where the old railroad ties are.
