Coal Miners' Museum (Van Lear)

The museum is administered by the Van Lear Historical Society.

[1] The museum was originally built in 1913 to serve as the Consolidation Coal Company's (Consol) office for Van Lear.

Along with Consol's office, the building also contained several businesses and has even housed Van Lear's city hall.

After the building was abandoned, Citizens National Bank eventually purchased it and in 1984 it was given to the Van Lear Historical Society.

The historical society then established the Coal Miners' Museum.
