Description

BLACK DIAMOND MINES REGIONAL PRESERVE – Beneath these hills is a history of industry, innovation, and perseverance. Join us as we explore both eras of mining that occurred here in the 19th and 20th centuries. Participants will tour both the Coal Mine Experience and the Hazel-Atlas Mine.

All participants must be age 7 or older, and parent participation is required. Hard hats are required and provided. Underground spaces may feel claustrophobic for some people.

Please bring a jacket; you will be underground in the mine, where temperatures are in the mid-50's year-round.

The Hazel-Atlas Mine portion of this tour is not wheelchair accessible.
The walk from the parking lot includes some steep and uneven terrain.

Arrive early, at least 15 minutes, to allow enough time for parking and walking. Park in the upper parking lot, 1 mile past the kiosk. Walk past the gate where the Historic Marker is. Continue up the hill past the picnic area and meet at the Greathouse Visitor Center.

Each tour is limited to 15 total maximum participants.
Cost is $8 per person.
$5/per vehicle parking fee applies when kiosk is attended.
