Beckley, West Virginia

A place worth knowing

Make room for Beckley.

Give Beckley time for the people and work behind the region’s history. Choose a confirmed mine visit, a craft interval or a separately planned gorge outing, with room for a meal. Underground tours and overlooks have very different access and mobility needs.

A few good ways to begin.

Choose a stop, then leave room for the unexpected.

Beckley Exhibition Coal Mine
