Cape Breton Miners' Museum Description
The Cape Breton Miners' Museum (follow the signs!) shows how coal originated, as well as demonstrating old and new coal mining methods. A tour of a mine is particularly impressive. Old miners graphically illustrate life at the coal seams.

Next to the museum is a reconstruction of miners' quarters in the second half of the 19th C. The coal company's shop impressively illustrates how dependent the miners were.
