Look at life-size history at Eckley

Miners’ Village, an authentic 19th-

century mining town. Eckley was

once a thriving, company-owned

coal mining “patch town.” With the

advent of strip mining in the 20th

century, underground mining became

obsolete, and scores of patch towns

disappeared along with the jobs. The

Pennsylvania Historical & Museum Commission has carefully restored

Eckley, providing the rare opportunity

to glimpse a past way of life. The

kitchens and bedrooms, personal

items, clothes, chairs, outhouses, and

laundry rooms all remain as if last

used yesterday! See homes, churches,

social clubs, general store, doctor’s

offi ce, and other buildings. Weather

and staff permitting, walking tour

guides describe life in 19th century

mining towns, giving narrative on

how these folks lived day-to-day.

Eckley Miners’ Village is 9 miles

east of Hazelton, off Route 940. See

signage near Freeland; access from

I-80 or I-81. The on-site museum

Tours are scheduled from 11:00am

Built shortly after the Civil War,

the sawmill has been in nearly

demonstrate how logs were fl oated

into the mill from the mill pond,

levered onto the huge saw and cut

into varying width boards solely by

power generated from the adjacent

falls. This is a great demonstration

for the whole family! The sawmill

is located on Duck Harbor Road

(off Creek Road) in Lookout. Watch

for signs on the Hancock Highway

(Route 191) between Rileyville

and Equinunk. From Route 191

(Hancock Highway) see signs; turn

onto Creek Road, then right on

Kellam Road and immediately turn

left on Duck Harbor Road. Distance

from the highway is about 3/10 mile.

If you would like to make a day of it,

after your sawmill visit, travel north

to the Equinunk Historical Society

Museum and Calder Gift Shop in

the center of historic Equinunk. For

more information or directions, call
