Finding a Lost Mining Town

Inside a collapsed coke oven

If you came from watching my video "Finding a Lost Mining Town" you made it to the right place. If you didn't and stumbled into my blog and want to watch the videos, these links will take you back to my YouTube channel (Day 1 and Day 2). 

Now that you watched both videos, I can really give you more of details that a few minutes of video can't really describe. I grew up in a small town in northern PA in a county called Cameron. Coal mining was a big industry during the late 1800s for this area. I didn't know anything about it until a few years ago and it blows my mind away just thinking about it.

I grew up in a small town called Emporium located in North Central PA. As a kid, I spent a lot time roaming what we call the "Endless Mountains" of Cameron County. When you are a kid you really don't pay too much attention to brick walls that stand in the middle of the forest or that pile of bricks covered by moss just laying in the middle of nowhere but maybe I should have.
