Exhibition Coal Mine
Steve’s take
You ride a coal cart into an actual coal mine. Underground. In the dark. With a retired coal miner as your tour guide telling you stories that'll make you grateful for your desk job. Your kids will think it's the coolest thing they've ever done. They're not wrong. This is the kind of stop that doesn't exist on the interstates — it's uniquely West Virginia and genuinely unforgettable. Right off I-77 in Beckley.
