7. Lackawanna Coal Mine Tour

SCRANTON.   In what was once a working mine, visitors can get a feel for the conditions and labors of coal-mining in the 19th century. Tours take place 300 feet underground and are led by an actual miner. The journey down is via trolley, and the perception of life beneath the surface is made decidedly clearer. The closeness of the space, the dangers of methane gas and tunnel collapses, and the damp, chilly environment become much more immediate first-hand, and visitors come away with a heightened sense of the sacrifices such work demanded. Audiovisual exhibits and souvenirs are also available.   (© 10Best)
