About

This museum offers visitors the opportunity to explore historic exhibits that capture the history of Dante during the peak of the coal industry. Once a community of coal camps, miners, and railroad workers from diverse backgrounds, Dante thrived. However, after the decline of the coal industry, many who depended on it were left helpless. Now, the community of Dante is turning to tourism and outdoor recreation as driving forces for redevelopment. Visit the museum to learn about the history of this resilient community.
