Coal Creek Miners Museum Spring Cleaning Work Day Preparing the Museum to teach the history of Coal Creek! 11 April 2015 View all images of the event on Flickr at: https://flic.kr/s/aHskaaZFMV	Volunteers clear ceramic tiles and carpet to expose the concrete floors
Twenty-nine volunteers, including nine Coal Creek Scholars, gathered to help prepare the new museum building for the future. The museum will feature lessons in the rich history of Coal Creek and honor the Coal Creek miners and their families and teach the history of coal mining from the mid-1800s to the present, including the innovations and safety measures used today based on lessons learned during the settlement of the area by the Welsh immigrant coal miners, the Coal Creek War, and the Frateville and Cross Mountain mine disasters. www.coalcreekaml.com/Legacy.htm Volunteers cleared out ceramic tile and carpet, removed old wood and debris, swept, dusted, cleaned windows, vacuumed, and cleared the two floors to make ready for future school field trips and tourists. Our scholars earned credit towards scholarships by performing community service at this fun event.	Conceptual drawing of future museum
