Whitsett is an unincorporated community in Fayette County, Pennsylvania, United States,[1] approximately 30 miles (50 km) south of Pittsburgh.
The Luce-Whitsett Coal & Coke Company was sold to Frank M. Osborne of Cleveland, Ohio, for $7,277.86 on November 16, 1892.
The coal mine then had its name changed to the Osborne, Saeger, and Company; it was in operation for five years.
The company ceased operations on Friday, February 22, 1946, when a slate fall killed three of its miners.
The former Banning #2 coal mine property is now owned by mosaic artist Rachel Sager who has created a collaborative outdoor mosaic art installation called The Ruins Project on the remains of the mine's outbuildings.
The project tells the story of the historic mine and town, and includes the work of more than 250 artists from around the world.
