The old train tracks in front of our museum have a restored caboose and coal car sitting on them. The museum is full of donated artifacts from Black Diamond and surrounding communities that pertain to a company owned coal mining town. There are many historical pictures and a simulated coal mine complete with electric engine and coal car. The Black Diamond original two man jail is located on our grounds as well as wash shed and fire station with hand fire pulled hose cart. Inside the museum you will find displays of a Doctors Office, Parlor, Kitchen, School Room, Barbershop, Candy Shop, Train dispatch office, Post Office within our General Store, Sewing Machines, Office Machines, Washing Machines, Automobile and Truck engines and Transmissions.
