Three Cheers for the Christian County Coal Mine Museum

Over the past several months, I’ve had the opportunity to work with Will Stone, the head of the Christian County Coal Mine Museum.


Will Stone

Will is a retired miner who’s committed to preserving the history and lore of mining in the region. He has been very helpful in identifying folks in the Taylorville area who have memories to share.

Here’s a short video produced by WILL-TV on the museum:



The museum is located at 115 N. Washington in Taylorville, IL - (217) 823 - 1819.
