Eric's Miners Museum Tour
August 17, 2023 -- Coal mining has a long, rich history in Nova Scotia. It began in 1720 at Cow Bay (Port Morien) and was developed on a small scale by the French for local use at Louisbourg. To gain a better understanding of the province's mining history, I stopped at the Miners Museum in Glace Bay, Cape Breton, Nova Scotia. If you visit this site, TAKE THE TOUR of the mine. The museum itself is ok; however, the tour was exceptional, especially since our guide, Eric, had spent his career working in this mine. This video is long; however, Eric did such a great job I didn't want to shortchange his presentation.
