Visitors experience compelling exhibits of archival photos and videos\, first-person accounts\, rare artifacts and replicas\, and detailed timelines placing the events of the Mine Wars era in a global context. \n\nOn Aug. 15\, New-Walker and Slifer will discuss how the museum was built from the grassroots\, how artifacts are acquired\, and the museum’s growing community work in the coalfields developing a series of public monuments to the 1921 Battle of Blair Mountain. \nscreenshot
