This free program highlights 100 years of local coal mining - from 1863 to 1963. By 1888 there were 200 men and 21 mules working right here! In fact, exporting coal to San Francisco helped turn Seattle into a major seaport. Eleven million tons of coal came out of the Newcastle mines! See historic photos and hands-on artifacts. Come and learn what is underneath a mountain that is older than Rainier.
