The Anthracite Heritage Museum focuses on the people, labour, and culture of coal mining and related industries in eastern Pennsylvania. The museum displays objects and images of the everyday life of coal miners and their families, including exhibits of household furnishings, religious artefacts, and work implements and machinery. Nearby Scranton Iron Furnaces, four stone blast furnace stacks built between 1848 and 1857 for the Lackawanna Iron and Steel Company, commemorate an industry that relied heavily on anthracite fuel and expanded as a result of it. Includes a tour of the museum and the furnaces.

Eckley, near Hazleton, Pennsylvania, was a typical company-mining town, or 'patch', which was in existence from 1854 to 1969. Coal companies constructed and operated villages, such as Eckley, for their workers, providing housing, stores, churches, and schools -- and by extension making the workers wholly dependent on the company. The workers were originally English, Welsh, and German, and later in the century they were joined by immigrants from Ireland and southern and eastern Europe, forming an ethnically diverse community. The site interprets the day-to-day life of the workers and their families.
