History Just Up the Road
Join David Harris, Director of the Cokedale Mining Museum, as he shares his insights and stories from the mining era.
History Just Up the Road
Just three miles west of Trinidad Lake State Park lies Cokedale- a historic coal mining town that’s 124 years old. The iconic coke ovens stand as silent sentinels whispering stories of hopes, dreams, memories, losses, and friendships from a time long past.
Why did they come? Why did they stay? Why work so long and hard for so little?
Join David Harris, Director of the Cokedale Mining Museum, at the amphitheater. Drawing from over 20 years of experience giving tours, David will share his insights and stories from the mining era.
