This is such a cool spot! My family LOVED traveling down into the mine, even though it was loud. SO WORTH a trip!!

We took our children along with my brother and his children on the Haunted Mine tour! It was truly an experience the children still remember over 15 years later!

I live in Punxsutawney and take all my visitors (those who aren't too scared to go) into the mine. It is such an eyeopener for most of them and they all tip their hats to the underground coal mining profession after going into through the mine and learning about the process.

The mine itself has many smaller buildings used in the mining process like the machine shop and the scale. It also has a very nice gift shop with moderate prices. You start out by paying in... More

I can't believe no one has written about this attraction before. Granted it is a bit out of the way. And that led us to joke among our family that that is why it is called "Seldom Seen." But it is wonderful and we had a lot of fun there. It fit in very nicely as we made a weekend... More
