Cape Breton Miners Museum

The Cape Breton Miners Museum has a number of excellent exhibits that explain the historical importance of coal to Cape Breton and the industrialization of the Americas.

Learn all about the various types of coal mining and mining techniques, and see the large display of equipment on hand.

There is also a miner's village on display.

Don't miss the underground tour of the Ocean Deeps Colliery, a coal mine located beneath the Museum building.

Retired coal miners act as your guides for this underground trip, and promise to entertain and inform you as they relate the importance of coal and coal mining to Cape Breton and Nova Scotia.

This museum is very entertaining and informative and well worth the trip.

The Cape Breton Miners Museum is located only one mile from downtown Glace Bay on Birkley Street (off South Street).

It is open from June 1 - August 31. There is an entrance fee.
