Last October, we moved the West Virginia Mine Wars Museum across the street from our original location (since 2015) and into the first floor of the giant Bank of Matewan building, now owned by the United Mine Workers Local 1440. Since then we have been hard at work overhauling the space, and I’ve been building the new exhibits I designed from the ground up. We’ve expanded to nearly triple our original size, we’ve added a comfy lobby, and we built a new gallery for temporary exhibits of art and history which resonates with our mission, proudly debuting with the photography work of Roger May. The Charleston Gazette-Mail ran a nice article about us last week by Rick Steelhammer, with excellent photos by Kenny Kemp…
