Please Note: cell phone service in our part of Mingo County is intermittent and unreliable!
Please plan accordingly, as you may lose signal at some points while navigating to Matewan.
Our museum offers free wifi to visitors, but cell service inside
and immediately around our building is poor.

You can’t miss us as you enter town, we are the building with the giant “Welcome to Matewan” banner!
