Export Mine No. 2
Several years ago, anyone driving
past the piece of wall set back off
Washington Avenue would likely
never know it was the remains of
one of two fan houses used by the
Westmoreland Coal Company,
which opened the Export Mine in
1892.
Local efforts to highlight this piece of
the town’s history, however,
have resulted in benches and an
interpretive sign to give passers-by
information about the site.
The fan houses were used to
provide air circulation for the mines,
and around the corner, the outline
of the concrete portals of the South
Mine entrance is still visible.
In summer, vegetation obscures
the concrete, but plans are to
construct a path, add more signage
and increase visibility of the portal
remains to shed greater light on that
part of the mine’s history.
• To get there: Parking is available on the
side of the road near the wall. The approxi-mate
address is 5919 Washington Ave., Export,
15632. The remains of the portal can be viewed
by walking through the parking lot to the side of
the District Court building.
