Good morning everyone. This is the commencement of the Springhill Miners' Museum blog. On this blog we will be talking about everything from the weather, to the groups that are visiting us for a tour. This is also a place to learn about the Springhill Mine. We will be offering bits of information quite frequently that will help you gain further knowledge about our rich heritage. If there are any requests or questions, please feel free to ask! And if you are really stumped, whether it be about admission prices or how a carbide lamp works, we can be reached at 902-597-3449.
We also have a facebook page too, so check that out!
About Me
- The Mine
- Tour the depths of a Springhill coal mine, famous in song and legend, with a knowledgeable guide. Hear stories of the disaster of 1891, the 1916 subeterranean fire which raged through the galleries, the loss of 39 men in the 1956 explosion and the major "bump" in 1958 in which 75 men lost their lives. The museum displays unique artifacts of the history of the town and its remarkable industrial heritage.
