You read that right! The FIRST installation of our walkway is finished!
Many guests and patrons have purchased these bricks to honor loved ones, fallen miners, and even local businesses! These bricks have helped fund the goals and missions of the museum, and will remain a part of our very foundation for generations and generations to come.

On display at the Coal Creek Miners Museum is the rich history of the miners that lived, worked and died in Coal Creek, Fraterville and Briceville, Tennessee. You will learn how the “free” miners fought against the convict lease system which ultimately ended the system in the southern states. You will also hear about a community that not only survived one mining disaster but two that killed almost every man in the community and young boys too. The story of this tenacious community reveals the courageous spirit of our forefathers. Explore our website to find out more!
