It really gives the town identity. We enjoyed the old train and were moved by the memorial to the coal minors.
This is one of the best appointed museums I've ever been to. The volunteers were so kind, and very knowledgeable of the history of Black Diamond, it's coal mining history, and railway history. We brought our 2 young boys, that enjoyed a scavenger hunt throughout the museum, resulting in a sweet reward. Best of all was the train stationed in front of the museum, where our boys were welcomed to climb aboard and even blow the whistle! I was impressed with the huge assortment of old relics of the past, from clothing, to appliances, and tools, and so much more. They've set up each area to represent what a real slice of life was back in the late 1800's. The kitchen and school room were amazing! As well as the the fine display of clothing. Truly a wonderful gem! I highly recommend a visit.
This would be a wonderful place to spend a rainy afternoon, or, a sunny and hot day like when I went! The museum is focused on the history of Black Diamond, especially the time when coal was king and mining was the main industry. Lots of mining implements and homemaking articles are on display, as well as pictures of Black Diamond's founding families. There are a couple \interactive\ displays for the kids where they get to blow a train whistle and make things light up. Run by a delightful older couple who were there to answer any questions, the Black Diamond Museum is a thoroughly enjoyable couple hours.
The docents are fantastically knowledgable . The exhibits, if you are fairly mature, can take you back to your childhood and you can stroll down memory lane. Plus there is the uniqueness of Black Diamond as a coal town that was once more populous than Seattle in its day. I love this town. I love this museum and what it means to the community.
