"Wonderful journey through the past. Very sad time for the miners! So glad this museum exists. It’s important to educate folks so it won’t happen again."
"This museum is fantastic! I highly recommend it if you're in the area. Only $5. and we'll worth much more. Everyone should visit and learn about the Blair mountain battle. They didn't teach about it in school, it's very important history. Don't miss this one."
"This is a small museum but full of so much history! I highly recommend you stop if you're in the area. The attendant on duty was very knowledgeable and friendly! We really enjoyed the visit!"
"Small, but very nice museum, great history. Has some audio I played that I wish I could have heard a little better, would have bought something with it on it, but they didn't. The history about all of this is soooo interesting! The near by restaurants are awesome! The little shops are quaint, full of friendly people. The place of the shootout, over on the railroad track side is incredible! Still have sluggs stuck in the wall to prove it!"
"This museum is an excellent learning experience for students and adults, alike! It is a space full of so many stories and artifacts. Everyone should take time to stop in and learn about WV labor history! Call or email ahead to schedule a tour, especially during their off season."
