Anthracite coal changed the face of American industry, making charcoal unnecessary and allowing the production of high-quality iron. Ashland is one of hundreds of small Pennsylvania towns that thrived as long as the coal mines lasted. You can literally ride into the history of anthracite coal mining at the Pioneer Tunnel Coal Mine, a horizontal mine driven a half a mile into a mountainside. Tours aboard a battery-operated train are led by experienced coal miners. You can also ride aboard a narrow-gauge steam train around the mountain to the site of a vast strip mining operation. At the Museum of Anthracite Mining, you'll find displays of tools used for timbering, drilling, blasting and all other aspects of mine operations. Ashland is also the home of the bronze replica of Whistler's Mother, built in 1938.
