Join us in helping uplift Kanawha County’s important history through a night of fellowship, education, and food!The West Virginia Mine Wars Museum's labor heritage trail, Courage in the Hollers, is expanding and we want your input on how to tell the story of the Mine Wars in Charleston.
Courage in the Hollers shines a light on this hidden history of the coalfields through a mix of large steel sculptures, murals, interpretive signage, and interactive audio experiences—developed through an inclusive, community-informed process.
These works will honor the contributions that unionist miners made to American history, focusing on the route of the Miner’s March to Blair Mountain in the summer of 1921.
Beyond preserving history, Courage in the Hollers works to benefit local economies in each town, drawing heritage travellers and visitors who invest in local business, restaurants and lodging. As part of this trail, your community is joining a recognized network of Mine Wars towns connected throughout the coalfields.
If this history is part of your family’s legacy, or of interest to you in any way, please plan to join us for our first community meeting at the Taylor Books Annex Gallery, 226 Capitol Street, Charleston, WV 25301 on May 29 at 6 p.m.
We hope to see you there!
