We are thrilled to announce this January Anthracite Heritage Month program welcoming back our presenter, mining engineer Justin Emershaw from the Hazleton based Atlantic Carbon Group.
The program will include how and why mine shafts and planes were located and how the surveyors direct miners on where the tunnels and shafts are in the mine – all used for mapping the mine. The program will also show how engineers find coal for a viable mine operation. The techniques cover both historic and modern day mines.
This program is free and open to the public. Please note the location.
**Trinity Episcopal Church corner of Montgomery Ave. and Spring St. in West Pittston.
There is an elevator available in the church if needed.
