Kentucky Coal Museum

Benham, KY

Housed in the former company store of a coal town, this museum preserves mining equipment, company scrip, household artifacts and a recreated underground mine environment. The building's solar-panel installation also became nationally notable because a museum devoted to coal partially powers itself with solar energy.

Filed under museums: small, specific collections run by people who care far too much.
