was closed this summer but still worth the effort to stop by if in the area. There is some great historical information posted across the street.

The Whipple Company store is a true diamond in the rough. We decided to stop and take the tour due to the history of my wife's family in coal mining. We are glad we did. We found the tour to be very informative and enlightening. We learned many interesting facts about the company stores and mining that history doesn't teach. The company store is in the process of being restored, but we can see the value in keeping this gem of history alive. Thank you Joy for the tour. We would highly recommend a visit.

This was a great tour. My wife, my son and I along with 4 of my son's friends (17 & 18 year olds) stopped on our way from Pittsburgh to Florida. It was facinating to hear and see the history of the coal mining families.
