The Broad Top Area Coal Miners Museum is a museum documenting the history of the isolated Broad Top coalfield in south central Pennsylvania. The museum is operated by the Broad Top Area Coal Miners Historical Society; its president is with Ron Morgan, the museum curator. The Museum and entertainment center was originally housed in the Reality Theater in Robertsdale, Pennsylvania,[1] which the group purchased in 1991 and opened in 1992.[2] In 2008 the museum moved to the former Methodist church in Robertsdale, Pennsylvania while the entertainment center remained in the theater.
The museum complex contains a large collection of mining memorabilia about the Broad Top Coal Field.[3] The museum also contains a vast collection of the Huntingdon and Broad Top Railroad memorabilia and has most of the archives for the H&BT.
