Coal Creek Miners Museum

Welcome!  On display at the Coal Creek Miners Museum is the rich history of the miners that lived, worked and died in Coal Creek, Fraterville and Briceville, Tennessee. You will learn how the “free” miners fought against the convict lease system which ultimately ended the system in the southern states.  You will also hear about a community that not only survived one mining disaster but two that killed almost every man in the community and young boys too.   The story of this tenacious community reveals the courageous spirit of our forefathers.  Explore our website to find out more or email info@coalcreekminersmuseum.com if you have any questions.  We are now putting together a collection of interviews, stories, tours, and music to commemorate the lives of those who worked coal in our region.  We would love to have your feedback, advice, suggestions, etc., but we would be tickled pink if you could provide photo's, video, music, or interviews of those who were involved in this industry.
