Sixteen Tons and what do you get another day older and deeper in debt-- The life of a mining community
Coal Creek Miners Museum的点评
点评:One should tour this excellent museum in the hill country NW of Knoxville if you want to experience the hard lives of a coal mining community in late 19th and early 20th century in América. The Coal Creek Miners Museum situated in a former small-town bank has a treasure trove of artifacts from the region's coal miming area. Begin with a brief overview video the history of Coal Creek as a company town as you reflect back on the classic Tennessee Ernie Ford's song: Sixteen Tons. Then take the docent led tour of the museum and feel the ghosts of the past. Kudos to docents: Jim Murdoch and his colleague Mary Kate for their excellent presentations of the difficult life of the miners and their families. If you are a history and museum buff, be sure to stop by this excellent museum-- you won't be disappointed.
